Alex, who received his B.A. degree in Dance from Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas, holds the distinction of being the first Dancer in a wheelchair to receive a four year degree in Dance in not only the U.S. but in the world. “His view of himself as purely a Dancer rather than as a ‘wheelchair dancer or disabled dancer’ makes him unique in the dance world. The strength of that view combined with the artistry of his choreography and his dance create a powerful manifestation the truth of this belief.” He studied dance at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, too and while there his work was presented in the American College Dance Festival Gala Concert in San Marcos, Texas. Alex has studied in modern, ballet, jazz, and integrated dance techniques.
