Meet Contestant Elle Smith!


Elle Smith is a Louisville native and a proud graduate of Sacred Heart Academy and the University of Louisville, where she was also a Ladybird. She is thrilled to come out of retirement for the 10-year celebration of Let’s Dance Louisville, a full-circle moment after cheering on her coach at this event a decade ago.

 

Elle began her career with Kroger in 2015 and has since taken on multiple leadership roles, including Assistant Store Leader, Special Assignments, Deli Field Specialist, and Chair of the African American Associate Resource Group in the Louisville Division. Her dedication and impact in the grocery industry earned her the 2023 Top Women in Grocery Award.

As Chair of the African American Associate Resource Group, Elle helped spearhead the first annual Bridging the Gap Book Drive, successfully collecting more than 10,000 books to support children's summer reading initiatives. 


In her spare time, Elle enjoys trying new restaurants, traveling, volunteering, and spending quality time with friends and family. Her greatest joy is being an "Auntie Mom" to her niece Wakely.
