Alexandria Marich

Alexandra Marich is so excited to be working with the Munster High School theater department!  She started dancing at The Dance Gallery at the age of 5 through senior year in high school. Dancing to her is the greatest feeling to express myself and she is thrilled to share that with the students for theater. After she graduated high school, Alexandra was asked to teach hip-hop for the studio, which she has been doing for 8 years!  She has also taught contemporary/hip-hop, and jazz. She continues her training through professional dance classes and workshops in Chicago, LA, and NY.  Her favorite professional moment was meeting Kathryn McCormick from the movie ‘Step up revolution’ and having lunch with her last minute after taking her workshop class.
