Alexandra Lucinda[2] Beaton (born December 5, 1994) is a Canadian dancer and actress who portrays Emily on The Next Step.

She was actually the second choice to play Emily, as Logan Fabbro — later to play Amanda — played the part in the unaired pilot. When the show was picked up by Family Channel and went to series, it was apparently decided that Logan didn't really fit the part of Emily, and so the role was recast with Alexandra.
