Daniel & Alexis Pollack

Daniel Pollack is from Utah and grew up in a family where dance was already part of his world. Like his sister Alexis, he trained in ballet, jazz, and tap before deciding to explore a different path through tennis. When Alexis began ballroom dancing, Daniel became curious and asked to try a class himself, beginning the journey that would eventually lead to their sibling partnership. Since then, Daniel has developed into a successful competitive dancer and dedicated teacher. In 2018, he began dancing with Alexis, and together they have earned national titles and major competition finals. Daniel graduated from the University of Utah in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. He and Alexis also share a passion for animals, with more than 20 pets at home, including dogs, birds, a hairless cat, geckos, and snakes.

Alexis Pollack grew up in Utah and began dancing at just two years old, training in ballet, jazz, and tap. As a teenager, she danced with Ballet West, gaining extensive experience in classical dance before deciding to change direction and pursue ballroom. That decision became a major turning point in her life and eventually inspired her brother Daniel to join her in the ballroom world. Alexis and Daniel began dancing together in 2018, combining their shared background and sibling connection into a successful competitive partnership. Alongside competing, Alexis has developed a strong passion for teaching and business. She graduated from the University of Utah in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a minor in Nutrition. Today, she continues to teach, compete, and help lead their growing studio while pursuing her passion for helping students succeed. 

Daniel and Alexis began their sibling partnership in 2018 after Daniel followed Alexis into ballroom dancing. Their shared background in ballet, jazz, and tap gave them a strong foundation, while their close family connection became an important part of their partnership. They are two-time champios at the United States National Championships, have taken first place in Youth World Showdance, and reached finals at major competitions including Embassy Ball, Desert Classic, California Open, and Holiday Dance Classic. In 2019, Alexis and Daniel opened Ladu Dance Studio, beginning another chapter as teachers and business owners. They expanded into a larger location in 2021 and expanded the business again in 2024. Today, they teach students ranging from age three to 85 and are passionate about creating a positive experience while helping every student achieve their goals.
