Alexandra Smith was born with Cerebral Palsy, but she has never allowed her condition to define her or limit her from living a full and meaningful life. She believes that it’s okay to be different because, as she says, "God did not make everyone the same."

Alex is passionate about her church, her family, and, of course, her dance. Her journey with Tara Patterson began when Alex was 8 years old, receiving massage, aquatic, and physical therapy from Tara. At the age of 17, Tara invited Alex to dance with Wings to Fly, and she has been a part of our performances ever since.

Her radiant smile and boundless passion for life continue to light up the stage, reminding us that the true beauty of dance lies in self-expression and embracing the unique story each person has to tell.
