Meet Alejandra

Meet Alejandra! This sweet eight-year-old is a born and raised Florida girl living in Miami. Alejandra is a spunky girl who is always making those around her laugh.

Living with Down syndrome gives Alejandra some challenges that her peers have a hard time understanding. However, with her positive outlook, this dreamer shows everyone that you can conquer anything you put your mind to!

Dance has been a passion of Alejandra’s and when she is dancing, she feels most free. When she is not in school or playing soccer, you can find her in dance class doing what she loves most!

The University of Miami Collegiate Dream Team has chosen Alejandra as their dream recipient and they are working hard to make her dream of meeting the University of Miami dance team come true!

Alejandra's Dream

Dream Kid Alejandra, referred to us from our friends at GiGi’s Playhouse Miami, had the most incredible Dream thanks to the efforts of the University of Miami Collegiate Dream Team!

Alejandra’s Dream kicked off on Friday morning at Montessori Academy where members of the University of Miami Spirit Squads Cheer & Dance team surprised her to let her know that her Dream started NOW!

American Transportation & Limo Services whisked Alejandra, her parents, and the Dream Team off to the Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables where the team checked in and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Thank you to the staff at the Biltmore for taking such great care of our group!

No dancer can compete without a fresh mani, so the Dream Team surprised Alejandra with a trip to Mi Nail Bar, where she received top notch service from an incredible staff! The rest of the day included 1:1 practice time with the UM Sunsations team where they gifted her her very own uniform as well as time at the Miami Hurricanes Baseball game.

On Saturday, Alejandra enjoyed a full campus tour, a school store shopping spree, lunch with the Collegiate Dream Team, and an in-game performance with the Sunsations! Alejandra was on top of the world as she absolutely crushed her performance at the Miami Hurricanes Men’s Basketball game!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make Alejandra’s Dream weekend just as special as she is!
