Uptown’s Sexiest – Alessandra Ball

Define “sexy.”
Sexy is being comfortable in your own skin. Sexy is having the ability to laugh at yourself.

What makes Charlotte a “sexy” city? What doesn’t?
Charlotte is sexy because it is thriving. All of the possibilities Charlotte has makes it the sexiest city I know. What takes the sexy out of Charlotte? The abandoned buildings on Independence.

Where are the best spots in Charlotte to live? To go out?
Myers Park, Dilworth, Uptown, Plaza-Midwood. I love dining out at Pewter Rose, Copper, and Lang Van. I also love to practice yoga and hang out with my fellow yogis at Yoga One.
What motivates you to get up and go to work in the morning?
Being a professional ballet dancer, I get to do what I love everyday. Waking up knowing I will be dancing to music, striving to perfect my passion, and working with really great people makes me the happiest.

What’s something not many people know about you?
As a child I was so quiet and painfully shy at school. As an incentive, my family would reward me if I were to get in trouble at school for talking. It’s hard for my friends now to believe that!

What do you think the future holds for the Queen City?
I think the future of the Queen City holds more fantastic people, food, style, and, most importantly, a constant growth and change for the better.
