Alex was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and discovered his passion for dance at the age of 9, inspired by his sister’s footsteps into the world of movement. At just 15, he made the bold move to the United States to pursue his dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer.

Alex has since danced with renowned companies including Atlanta Ballet and Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre, and has had the honor of guesting with several distinguished ensembles. Throughout his career, he has shared the stage with world-class dancers and worked under celebrated choreographers—experiences he holds with deep gratitude.

After sustaining a serious ankle injury, Alex turned his focus toward his other passion: fitness and dancer wellness. This shift led him to explore the transformative power of cross-training, injury prevention, and strength conditioning for dancers.

“Incorporating cross-training into my routine completely changed how I dance. I’ve never felt stronger or more in control of my body. Dancers possess extraordinary mental resilience, and that continues to inspire me. That’s why I founded Proteus Fitness—to help dancers train smarter, perform at their peak, and build long, healthy careers by working with their bodies, not against them.”
