Alexandra Chaves is an actress and dancer who is best known for her role as Piper on the Canadian series “The Next Step” where she joined the series in its fourth season. She has also been involved in advocacy where she has met and worked with children to talk about issues that are common around young people.
Alexandra is an actress but comes from a dance background. Early on, she tried many sports/activities but decided on pursuing dance. After realizing that it could be a career of hers, she continued pursuing dance as she felt it was a form of storytelling. At some point in the future, however, Alexandra would like to get involved in science as this is another field that she is passionate about. With her acting career, she has been on many TV shows with “The Next Step” being the show she is best known for. While Alexandra enjoys acting and dancing, she had obstacles in her way. When it comes to acting and dancing for example, she struggled with perfection and was often hard on herself when making a mistake. Another challenge was when Alexandra was diagnosed with heart arrhythmia at the age of 12 which prevented her for dancing for 8 months. While she is still able to do the two things she enjoys, she is careful to not to do too much in order to look after herself. In addition to acting and dancing, she has also been passionate about mental health and the fight against bullying. Her goal when it comes to her advocacy is to make sure everyone is celebrated regardless of a person’s background.
