"Underneath the Surface Lies the Real Reason We Dance."

Alaina Rupe

Underneath the Surface

Growing up, I have always wanted to be a dancer. Even before I could walk or talk, I remember my grandmother telling me that I would move to the beats of music. So, at the age of two, I was placed into dance classes. Though dancing was always something that I loved, It was never something that I excelled at. I was awkward growing up, and never had the strength or flexibility that other girls had.

Working Hard

My grandmother was always my biggest supporter though. She told me that if I worked hard and stayed determined, I would always have dance in my life. So, I worked hard and always continued to push myself in all areas of dance.


I remember staying late after classes to work on parts I couldn't perfect. I would stretch all night, hoping it would help my flexibility. I would do high kicks with ankle weights on, praying that it would strengthen my legs. Thanks to my perseverance and after-hours work, I have been extrememly blessed with the beauty of dance all throughout my life. I have had the opportunity to professionally dance with BalletWest, LaRae's Dance Unlimited, Studio 1, the University of Utah, and now with Lai Rupe's Choreography.

In Memory of Kathie Lee Dalton, I dance.

In 2010, when my grandmother passed away from Breast Cancer, I knew that dance was something that I needed in my life. She was always the one pushing me to be a professional dancer, and encouraging me to follow my dreams. My grandma Kathie was always the one who told me I was good enough, even when the rest of the world, said I wasn't good enough. She was the one who inspired me to be my all and share my passion for dancing with those around me. When I dance, I feel like a piece of her love, shines through me. Dancing is a way for her to always be with me.


Because of her encouragement, I founded Lai Rupe's Choreography, and have pushed myself farther and farther and now have the honor of saying that I am a professional and international dance choreographer.

Anything is Possible.

Within all of my professional choreography, I like to think that a piece of her shines through from behind the choreography. Every time a dance is create her light is emulated and perfection in a routine is able to be grasped. If you have a passion in life, do whatever it takes to make it come true. With hard work and determination there is nothing you can't do.
