2025 Dance Icon Champion

After hours of intense competition, Ciara and our judges crowned Lexington Suttle as the 2025 Dance Icon! With 16 years of dance experience, Lexington slayed both the group and solo rounds dancing to “Level Up” and a version of “Goodies” she edited herself. She defines her personal style as a technical dancer who excels at hip hop, but she has trained in a wide array of dance styles, including ballet, jazz, African, contemporary, and hip-hop. This aspiring professional dancer and choreographer took home $20,000 and will appear in Ciara’s upcoming music video.
