Alex Montgomery-Fleming

Alex trained for five years at the Royal Ballet School (White Lodge) before completing a further three years at Elmhurst Ballet School. During this time, Alex performed alongside leading companies including the Royal Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Ballet Cymru, as well as numerous other organisations across the UK. These engagements saw Alex perform on some of the country’s most prestigious stages, including the Royal Opera House, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, Opera Holland Park, the Royal Albert Hall (a personal highlight), and the Birmingham Hippodrome. Alongside performing, Alex also travelled nationwide to deliver and ballet classes and workshops, sharing his expertise with students of all ages.

At just 18, Alex was accepted onto the Royal Academy of Dance’s Professional Dancers’ Graduate Teaching Diploma - a programme usually reserved for later in a dancer’s career. This rare opportunity profoundly shaped Alex’s teaching philosophy and continues to inform his work today.

Now an established teacher across the West Midlands, Alex works with organisations such as Birmingham Royal Ballet, the British Ballet Organisation, Stagecoach Performing Arts, Nicholson School of Dance, and several private schools. Most recently, he founded the Birmingham Ballet Association, where he serves as Artistic Director. Demonstrating vision and innovation, Alex has created an original syllabus for the Association, now delivered through four structured levels of adult ballet training inspired by international methods.

Alex believes that ballet has a core role in all genres of dance technique and aims to help dancers embrace ballet in their life, whether as a cornerstone or a complement to other pursuits.
