Meet
the founders.
Alexi has been a social dancer since the age of 14 and a professional dance instructor since 2016. She started her first social dance club in Los Angeles in 2015, then brought that same energy to Dallas–Fort Worth when she saw what this city was missing.
She's hosted over 100 events, taught thousands of students across 20+ styles, and trained under world-class instructors including Natalia Lind, Michael Kuka, Mireille Gineste, and Diane Jarmolow.
She describes herself as a student of human nature. Watching a nervous beginner walk out of their first class smiling — that's why she does this.
Marco is the infrastructure behind how DFW Young & Social actually runs. With a background at Southwest Airlines and Ericsson, he knows how to build systems that genuinely serve people — not just look good on a slide deck.
His guiding principle: reduce harm, create joy, care for people. He approaches the community with a mix of practical optimism and genuine curiosity. He's the reason the back-end keeps running while Alexi runs the floor.
Off the clock, he's cooking something interesting, deep in a film or anime, or somewhere in the Taylor Swift catalog. Probably all three.
