Alexander Loxton

Alexander Loxton was born and raised in the industrial city of Birmingham, England where he discovered an unlikely passion in dance. After training late into the evenings in run down sports halls in the city he was granted a scholarship for ballet school and went on to receive his professional training at The Royal Ballet School in London. During this time he frequently performed with The Royal Ballet Company, danced at Buckingham Palace and was a finalist at the Young British Dancer of the Year Competition. At 19 he joined The Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam and after dancing with the company for several years he began performing as a guest artist internationally. On returning to London he accepted a position with the male contemporary dance company BalletBoyz performing his premiere at "Fall for Dance Festival" in New York City. Coincidentally his dance training came full circle when he later played "Older Billy Elliot" in Billy Elliot the Musical on the West End which tells the story of a young boy from an industrial town in England finding a way out through ballet. He has featured in numerous commercials and movies including Disney's Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
