To celebrate her return, Alexandra will be teaching two iconic choreographies.

Stand Up: One of the most iconic moments of TNS, the iconic A-Troupe dance! Big group energy and big smiles!

Watch 'Stand Up' on YouTube.

Fire: Piper's Season 4 solo - this one is personal. "Fire" holds Piper's whole journey through TNS. Faster pace and deeper into technique, musicality and performance quality, which is what a solo asks of a dancer.
