how bad can a self tape day get? EP 6: just a cutesy lil ✨day in the life of an unemployed actor✨ ft some different characters and maybe a lil too much drama?! what can i say, this girl loves the camera Day 6/13 #TilIMakeIt: when it rains it pours! Here’s to 3 self tapes today. the last one was challenging ngl. Felt some sort of block within me for that. But gotta get back to it to submit it asap !!

anyone else feel time anxiety?! doesn’t help when you only have 30min to record & then this lands in my inbox… EP 5:  ahhh left this audiobook voiceover audition to the last min! didn't even notice what the book was about… you? Day 4/13 #TilIMakeIt: the life of an actor is full of surprises! Here’s to the unglamourous side of it all ft my makeshift voiceover booth lol

Can’t believe this is how she responded… EP 4: check your inbox @CBBC 👀👀 Thanks @alishea 🌱 for your help! another day making BOLD choices and going for ittttt. do you think the @bbc CEO will approve? Day 4/13 #TilIMakeIt: opening up a new side of me ft bubbles and juggling chaos. what a productive day so far.

EP 2: & without warning, she was gone. Alexandra Chaves graciously welcomed us into her charmingly lackluster Toronto condo, where, amid the half-packed relics of a life she is quietly outgrowing, she folded away her old self before our eyes, all while musing on the bittersweet close of her world tour, and the dazzling new era she promises is coming. Come wander her world in today's episode. Day 2/13 #TilIMakeIt: what a treat to be interviewed in my humble home! I probably shouldn't leave the door unlocked…

EP 1: can’t be the only one who didn't see that coming?! met with my agent to discuss MAJOR MOVES! some hard chats but those are necessary for our ✨growth✨ here’s to an exciting future 😍💫 Day 1/13 #TilIMakeIt: still feeling jetlagged! but big meeting today! always good to get on the same page with my reps. Feeling excited for what’s next!!

it’s time … to close the chapter on #AlexsNextStep S1. 166 days of showing up here and documenting this journey with you in real time. and what a journey it’s been ✨ taking a little hiatus to live, breathe, and figure out what my next step looks like ;) Like a wise lil girl I know once said… “whatever happens next, I'm ready to face it" thank you for watching <3 see you soon.

What does behind the scenes of a touring performer actually look like? Come with me backstage on the Canadian leg of my tour with @Rogers & @Samsung Canada 🇨🇦📸  With Rogers, Canada’s best 5G+ network, and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, I’m able to connect in crowded places and capture the whole night as it unfolds, even in low light.  From warmups backstage to the quiet moments after the show, these are the memories that make touring so special! Memorable nights, clearly captured✨ Learn more. #Sponsored @Rogers @SamsungCanada Based on Accenture’s Best-in-Test results, executed in Q1 2025 and its related publications (Best-in-Test certificate April 2025, audit report June 2025).

day off ft a memory that will last a lifetime. and us out of dancewear for once ;) yes, our tour has come to an end. no I’m not ready to process. but post coming soon. for now, gnite Australia.

what happens at our tech run 👀 we run through a few dances … for lights, music, and honestly our brains 😅 some stages have wings, some don’t. some are bigger, smaller. we get a feel for the size, find our A Troupe line, figure out where to hit the spotlights. it’s so fun to be part of this side of things.. chatting with Mark (production manager) and Jay (music coordinator) to make sure we’re delivering the best show possible!! shoutout to my cast and Jordan Clark for always making these run so smoothly 🫶🏼 💬 Day 165 of #AlexsNextStep: our last double show day in Sydney was UNREAL! Australia has brought the energy, and now I’m getting into my feels bc we only have ONE SHOW LEFT. #TheNextStep #TheNextStepLegacyWorldTour #TourLife

a sneak peak of my SHHH HOLD IT moment 👀@The Next Step 💬 Day 163 of #AlexsNextStep: the sun is Australia is HITTINGGG! Just finished a show in Newcastle. See you soon Sutherland

the wardrobe check… BTS One of the most underrated parts of every show is getting to check out the racks with @shane ! It feels like playing dress up when you’re a kid… but with ALL THE BURGUNDY! ALL. THE. BURGUNDY. 💬 Day 162 of #AlexsNextStep: brisbane double show day brought the ENERGY and now we are en route to Newcastle!! #AlexsNextStep #TheNextStepLegacyWorldTour #TourLife

let me explain myself… i fractured a rib last week. so I got it checked out (shoutout Australia healthcare system!) and then was cleared to dance again woot woot! so i’m back out there, managing pain, listening to my body and taking it one show at a time. not my most graceful week but my body knows how to do this even when it’s unhappy about it😌 missing those shows was hard. being back tonight is everythinggg!! i’m so grateful for my tour fam and management for having my back (literally!). see you for the rest of the AUS leg! 💬 Day 161 of #AlexsNextStep: yes, are we continuing this? ill count it bc we had an abrupt stop and Alex deserves redemption !! 😉 See you soon Brisbane
