GOLD FOR ALEX: ‘I’VE GOT THIS MOM’
Girl (5) keeps on skating to the beat TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07
A
five-year-old girl from Thornton proves that dynamite does come in small packages. Little Alex Stevens won the u.7 category of the South African Body of Dance (Sabod) hip hop competition last month. The competition, which was a first for Alex, took place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Her mother, Simone, said she is immensely proud of her youngest daughter’s achievement. Not only is she involved in hip-hop, but the preschooler is also a figure-skater. She says Alex started dancing when she was still in diapers and could stand comfortably on two feet. Her passion for dance stems back from her mother and older sister, Logan. “Alex and her sister, Logan, would watch me teach bellydance to young and older students and often try to join in and just have so much fun. She would step into Logan’s ballet class and follow instructions by the teacher and flow to the music together with the girls who were four years older than her. “Alex could not sit still for a minute and would improvise dance steps to every tune she hears, and calls it ‘Alex moves’. At that point, I then decided to sign her up for dance classes at school so she can learn counts to the rhythm of the music.”
Alex Stevens, Thornton’s aspiring hip hop dancer and figure skater, is passionate about what she does.
Prior to her doing ice-skating, Alex would spend her Saturday mornings watching Logan skating and get graded at the ice-rink. “Alex then asked me if she too can get skates as she wanted to try it and also achieve the grading badges. “At her first figure skating lesson, she was very nervous as the ground beneath her feet was slippery with very little control, but she stepped onto the ice and said, ‘I’ve got this mom,’” explains Simone. While many other toddlers are focused on playing with toys, Alex joined both a dancing school and figure-skating club at the age of three. “I was hesitant to let Alex start dancing and skating for a club at such a young age, but her enthusiasm for skating and continuous rhythmic movement to music, and the enjoyment on every movement thereof, made it an easy decision ... and she loved it,” says Simone. “I have seen significant growth in her confidence. At first, Alex was very shy to perform in front of unfamiliar faces, but now she is always wanting to try new steps and routines and practices wherever she is (at home, at shops, in the park, on the beach) until she gets it right, which is always an accomplishment for her.” With a huge smile she always shouts ‘mom, I did it!’, says Simone. She now loves performing on stage or in front of an audience.” V To page 2.
