Lex Ishimoto
Dancer

Lex Ishimoto has trained vigorously in jazz, lyrical, tap, hip hop, ballet, and contemporary. He debuted his first professional dance job as “Billy” on the 1st and 2nd national tour of Billy Elliot the Musical in 2011. He trained at Boston Ballet School as a trainee in 2015 and was promoted to Boston Ballet II the following year. He later joined Travis Wall’s Shaping Sound company for the tour of After the Curtain In 2017, Ishimoto was crowned America’s Favorite Dancer on So You Think You Can Dance season 14, and he appeared as an All-Star for the 15th season. Lex can be seen in music videos including Sia’s The Greatest, Judith Hill’s The Pepper Club, BeBe Rexha’s I’m a Mess, and more. His most recent works include completing the world tour with rock band MUSE, working for William Forsythe, and setting repertory on Boston Ballet. Heavily influenced by the underground/hip hop scene, classical ballet, concert dance, and the commercial world, he strives to be a dominant force in the dance world, refusing to be labeled in a single genre. With his self-made slogan/brand “STAYLEGENDARY” he continues to push boundaries in hopes of being acknowledged as an unforgettable artist of his generation, and to inspire those around him to do the same on the highest level possible.
