Alexa Moffett was born on August 6, 1993. She began her dance training when she was ten years old under the instruction of the Nelson sisters at a studio in Burnsville, Minnesota. Two years later, the Moffett family moved to Arizona, and Alexa and her sister Addison Moffett began training and competing with Dance Connection 2.

At the young age of fifteen, Alexa began choreographing and instructing, thus creating some of the most well-known dancers in the country. She formerly taught at Club Dance Studio where Addison trained at. Alexa also served as the director of the Pre-Professional program. At the end of the 2014-2015 competition season, Alexa announced her departure from Club. It is believed that Alexa left because of a fight between herself and studio owner Kelli Wilkins (mother of Jaycee Wilkins). Alexa spent the 2015-2016 season working alongside her close friend, colleague, and fellow choreographer Molly Long at Project 21 Dance Studio, which Molly founded that same year.

In 2016, Alexa opened her own studio in Arizona, Alexa Moffett Studios.

Alexa was a guest choreographer at the Abby Lee Dance Company bootie camp in 2014. During that week, she taught the ALDC's junior elite competition team a group number called "Beautiful Revenge." The number was later performed at a competition on Lifetime's hit reality series Dance Moms. Alexa was not credited with this choreography on the show. She was also brought in as a guest choreographer for a season 5 episode of the show, where she choreographed a solo for her former student Kalani Hilliker. Besides this, Alexa's students have worked on America's Got Talent, The X Factor, Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, The Maury Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Dancing with the Stars, Fresh Off the Boat, Shake It Up, and Bunheads. Her dancers on America's Got Talent have made up some of the show's most well-known dance groups, including the Fresh Faces and Complexity.

As stated on her official website, "Alexa's training is sought after for her precise technique, attention to detail, and ability to showcase stage presence." She is most known for her lyrical and contemporary choreography, which is very modern in style, as well as her musical theater choreography.
