about alexis

Alexis Stus is a choreographer, performer, and interdisciplinary artist based in Dallas, TX. Her work lives at the intersection of movement, cognition, and identity, exploring how internal patterns, habits, and interactions shape the way we move through the world. Alexis studied at Booker T. Washington HSPVA and then the University of the Arts as a dance major and business minor before the school’s unexpected closure. She now attends Southern Methodist University with plans to graduate in the spring of 2028 with a double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computational Mathematics and a minor in Cognitive Science. 

Inspired by everything from psychology and gesture to repetition and interruption, Alexis approaches choreography as both an expressive and investigative tool. Her work reflects an ongoing curiosity about the subconscious and how meaning forms through the human experience. She has been choreographing since the age of 15, with work featured in the Agora Artists SEEDS program, Dallas Indie Dance Fest and at the WHITE WAVE SoloDuo Festival in NYC. 

In addition to her artistic pursuits, Alexis has held an internship in software marketing, blending creativity with strategy, and researching the potential of AI and technology in both arts administration and immersive choreography. She is a member of the Arts Mission Oak Cliff Exchange Club and finds inspiration in being surrounded by a vibrant arts community.
