Alexander recently competed in the annual concours in Paris, France and won FIRST PLACE! This means that he was awarded a LIFE TIME CONTRACT with the Paris Opera Ballet! Approximately 230 male dancers auditioned, and Alex made each final cut.

​

All these dancers perform the pre-selected routine for a panel of judges, who are their peers within this company. There are anywhere between 9-14 judges, most are advanced dancers and the Artistic Director of the Paris Opera Ballet company. To receive this lifetime contract, the dancer must receive at least 7 first place marks, and Alexander won all 7 first place marks!

​

Before performing with the Paris Opera Ballet (on three month term contracts), Alex danced with Boston Ballet for four years.

​

We are thrilled for Alexander and proud of his hard work and determination (even in the midst of the pandemic and shut downs) to achieve his dream! Congratulations Alexander - You deserve every bit of this!
