Daily Inspiration: Meet Lexie Greene

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lexie Greene.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started dancing when I was just two years old, and honestly, it’s been the core of my identity ever since. I grew up training in every style and I spent my summers in Los Angeles training at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy. Being surrounded by that level of talent at such a young age taught me discipline, professionalism, and what it really meant to work hard for something you love.

Dance has also opened the door to incredible opportunities. I’ve been able to work for amazing artists such as T-Pain, Kanye, Aniké, Erica Campbell, Matthew Mdot Finley, and so many more. And the journey didn’t stop at dance, it even led to acting opportunities on shows like Stranger Things, Dance Moms, and Kim of Queens. Each experience has pushed me creatively and showed me just how far dance can take you.

As I got older, I wanted to understand dance on a deeper level, not just artistically but physically. That’s why I decided to get my degree in Exercise Science. I wanted to learn how the body works, how to prevent injuries, and how to support dancers through proper training and rehabilitation. That knowledge has helped me not only elevate my own dance career, but also become a better, safer teacher for the dancers I train.

I’ve been teaching for eight years now, and I run a kids hip hop program at Candy Shop Dance in Lawrenceville, Georgia. That program is one of my biggest passions. I love getting to guide the next generation, build their confidence, and keep them healthy while they grow as dancers.

Along the way, sharing my dance journey and lifestyle online slowly turned into a full influencing and content creation career. People connected with my story, my energy, and my mix of dance, beauty, modeling, and everyday life. Now I get to blend all the things I love into the work I do every day.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. I’ve worked incredibly hard for everything I have. There’s been blood, sweat, tears, and countless auditions, and in this industry, you’ll hear a hundred nos before you finally get that one really good yes. The rejection, the long hours, the self-doubt… it all takes a toll.

And then, about two years ago, I faced one of the hardest moments in my career when I broke my back. It completely halted my dance training and forced me into a place where I had to slow down. Dance is all I’ve ever known, and suddenly not being able to move the way I used to was devastating.

But even through that, I pushed. I still took on some dance gigs because it’s what I love and, honestly, I needed to keep working to support myself. Looking back, that period taught me so much about resilience, discipline, and listening to my body, that which ties right back into my passion for exercise science and helping others prevent injuries.

The challenges I’ve faced have shaped me into who I am today. The road hasn’t been easy, but every struggle made me stronger, more grateful, and more committed to the craft.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
In my work, I wear a few different hats, I’m a professional dancer, dance instructor, model, and content creator. Dance has shaped every part of my career. I’m known for my ability to connect with people through movement and bring real energy and personality to everything I perform.

I’m also deeply passionate about teaching. I’ve been an instructor for eight years, and I have my own kids hip hop program at Candy Shop Dance in Lawrenceville, Georgia. That’s one of the things I’m truly most proud of. I love pouring into the younger generation, helping them find their confidence, and giving them the foundation and support that I had growing up. Teaching feels like a full-circle moment for me.

Outside of dance, I’ve built a strong presence as an influencer and creator. I’m known for blending my lifestyle, beauty, fitness, behind-the-scenes dance content, and modeling work in a way that feels authentic and fun. I love connecting with people online and showing the real side of being a performer and creator. Influencing has become a huge part of my career and honestly one of the most unexpected blessings. I fell more into influencing during COVID, when studios were shut down and I couldn’t dance anywhere except my own house. What started as posting dance videos, lifestyle content, and little creative moments turned into a whole new lane for me. People connected with my personality, my story, and the authenticity behind what I was sharing, and from there, everything just grew.

Because of influencing, I’ve been able to attend so many incredible events and experiences I never would’ve imagined. I’ve been invited to movie premieres for Warner Bros., Amazon Studios, MGM Studios, and A24, which still feels surreal. I’ve also had the opportunity to partner with major brands like Cirque du Soleil, ESPN, Snapchat, and so many more. Those partnerships have allowed me to showcase different sides of myself not just as a dancer, but as a creator, performer, and storyteller.

What I love most is that influencing lets me express myself in ways that go beyond dance. I get to share beauty, lifestyle, modeling, travel, fitness, and behind-the-scenes moments from my career. It’s helped me build a community, connect with people on a deeper level, and open doors I never even knew were possible.

But above everything, I think my passion, consistency, and ability to reinvent myself is what makes me stand out. I’ve been dancing since I was two, I’ve trained at places like the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, I’ve danced for major artists, and I’ve built a career in both the studio and online. I’m proud that I’ve stayed true to who I am, even when the road wasn’t easy, and that I continue to grow in every space I step into.

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What I love most about Atlanta is the culture and the creativity. This city has so much talent, dancers, creators, musicians, entrepreneurs, and the energy here is so inspiring. There’s a real sense of community, especially in the dance and entertainment world. People support each other, collaborate, and move with purpose. Atlanta also has so many opportunities, from film and TV work to events, brand activations, and creative spaces. It’s a city where you can really build something for yourself.

What I like least is probably the traffic and how spread out everything is. It can take forever to get across the city, even for short distances. But overall, the good far outweighs the bad, and Atlanta has truly been the perfect place for me to grow in my career and as a creator.
