Alexito “Xito” Pelaez

Hip-Hop / Jazz Funk

Xito Pelaez began dancing in Miami, Florida. At an early age he began winning 1st place at many competitions in the hip-hop and jazz funk genre. He later received scholarships nationwide, which led him to teach and pass down knowledge at home when he was back from his many travels. At the age of 14 he began dancing professionally on-stage and on-camera for young latin artists in Miami. By 15 he was making his first trips to LA.

Xito made the big move and has lived in Los Angeles for over a decade now. In that time he has danced for stars such as Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Lorde, Jojo Siwa, Jennnifer Hudson, Becky G, Sofia Carson, Rev Run, and many more. Not to mention working with the industry's top choreographers such as Nappytabs, Kenny Ortega, Richy Jackson, Luther Brown, Guy Groove, Ryan Heffington ....the list could go on.

Through the pandemic Xito began to focus his efforts on teaching dance to all ages, specifically teaching classes to the youth via Guy Groove's virtual program Groove Interactive. He is also pursuing acting as well as dancing in TV/Film, having been recently featured on Grey's Anatomy, Netflix's "Christmas with you', and Disney+'s "The Hip Hop Nutcracker".
