Alexis Warr’s net worth hasn’t been made public, and she hasn’t shared what she earns from dancing. What is on record is a $100,000 prize for winning So You Think You Can Dance Season 17 in 2022, followed by a professional spot on Strictly Come Dancing since 2025. She is now partnered with former England footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips on the 2026 series.
Alexis Warr Net Worth: What We Know
No outlet we found has reported a confirmed net worth for Warr, and no source gives her salary on any show. Sites that print a precise figure aren’t naming where it comes from, so we’re not repeating them.
The one hard number tied to her career is the SYTYCD prize. Season 17’s winner took home $100,000, which was $150,000 less than the Season 16 prize. A prize amount is not the same as net worth or take-home pay, and it tells us nothing about her savings, taxes or later earnings.
We also found no report from the BBC or from Warr confirming what she is paid as a Strictly professional. Until someone publishes a verified figure, the honest answer is that her net worth is not publicly disclosed.
How Much Does Alexis Warr Make?
Warr hasn’t disclosed her income. Her work comes from three places: television (SYTYCD, Strictly), live touring and performing, and choreography.
Because her own pay isn’t public, here is how U.S. government data describes the closest job categories. This is typical pay for the job, not her confirmed pay.
| Measure | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Median hourly wage, dancers, May 2024 | $23.97 | U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics |
| Median hourly wage, choreographers, May 2024 | $26.73 | U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics |
These are national medians for all dancers and choreographers, covering stage, studio and commercial work. A Strictly professional on primetime BBC television works in a very different market, so treat the table as a general reference only.
Who Is Alexis Warr?
Alexis Warr, who also appears as Alexis Warr Burton, was born on June 5, 2000, in Highland, Utah. She is 26. She is an American professional dancer and choreographer, and she is trained in ballroom and Latin as well as contemporary, hip hop, tap and gymnastics.
She married her high school sweetheart, Jake Burton, in November 2018. The couple announced their separation on June 23, 2026, after almost eight years of marriage.
Early Life and Training
Warr started training at the Center Stage Performing Arts Studio in Orem, Utah, at age six. She learned ballet and jazz the following year, and by 13 she had added ballroom.
Money was tight at home when she was a child. Warr has said she was taken out of dance for a time because her mother’s medical bills made lessons unaffordable. She came back to the sport through ballroom, competing across the U.S., in England and in Paris.
During her high school years she performed on two seasons of America’s Got Talent and on the second season of World of Dance with her ballroom team. She also toured with Derek Hough, who trained at the same Orem studio.
So You Think You Can Dance Winner
Warr almost didn’t enter. She filled out an audition application in 2018 but didn’t submit it, then put it off again in 2019, and the pandemic paused the show in 2020. She finally applied when the show returned in 2022.
On August 10, 2022, she was crowned the Season 17 winner, beating fellow finalist Keaton Kermode. She became the first Latin and ballroom dancer ever to win the title. For the first time, the winner was chosen by the studio audience rather than viewers at home.
She dedicated the win to her mother, who was battling brain cancer. The prize was $100,000 and the title of “America’s Favorite Dancer.”
After the win she moved to Los Angeles. She was the female swing on the Dancing with the Stars live tour in 2022 and a troupe member on Season 31 of the U.S. show. In 2024 she appeared in the music video for JoJo Siwa’s “Karma.”

Strictly Come Dancing Series 23: Runner-Up With George Clarke
In July 2025, the BBC announced Warr as a new Strictly Come Dancing professional alongside Julian Caillon. Warr said she had admired the show for years and called joining it an honor.
Her debut partner was social media personality George Clarke. The pair reached the final and finished as joint runners-up with Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin on December 20, 2025. Karen Carney was crowned champion.
Warr and Clarke averaged 33.2 across the series. They scored 39 out of a possible 40 four times: a salsa in week 9, then a Viennese waltz, a showdance and a paso doble in the final.
Strictly 2026: Partnered With Shaun Wright-Phillips
For series 24, Warr’s partner is Shaun Wright-Phillips, a former England winger with 36 caps who played for Manchester City and Chelsea. He is 44, a broadcaster and pundit, and the son of Ian Wright. Wright-Phillips has said Karen Carney, last year’s winner, gave him advice before the launch show.
The start has been bumpy. Their week 1 cha-cha-cha scored 15, one of the lowest marks of the night. A week 2 salsa to a Bee Gees track earned 25, which put them on 40 across two weeks.
Week 3 brought a quickstep that again scored 15, and the couple landed in the dance-off against Melanie Walters. Three of the four judges chose to save Warr and Wright-Phillips, and Walters went home. Thirteen couples remain, and Icons Week is next on Saturday, October 17.
Bookmakers have rated Wright-Phillips as a long shot for the title, and he has been among the favorites to leave in recent weeks. Whatever happens, Warr’s standing as a runner-up and SYTYCD champion is already on the record.
