Alix Brooks had a flair for drama and a talent for dance, even as a girl in Coronado, California. She participated in the Beach School dance productions and parties given at the Hotel del Coronado, which were very elaborate, costumed affairs. She studied ballet and other styles of dance, and at some point traveled to Chicago to attend Ned Wayburn's dance school, from which she graduated.

She was hired on the spot. She may have been part of the large troupe of dancers who performed in the delightfully technical production numbers.
