Alex Rodrigues, Dancer and artiste

Email: rodlx@hotmail.com
Alex Rodrigues's love for dance and art started at a very young age. At 17, he started teaching ballroom dancing at an institute. This was the start of his dancing career. Thanks to this training gig, he managed to polish his moves. He would be approached by people at parties who wanted to learn how to dance, but were too shy to attend a class. He started training them in ballroom dancing through one-on-one lessons. He has a diploma in fitness and nutrition. He has done several art shows in the country and internationally. In 2019, he co-choreographed a Tango number for a Polish film. He trained the actors and was a part of the direction team.
Recommendedby: Alexander de Grunwald, production manager for Richard Attenborough's Gandhi 1982, says, "I trained with Alex for two years. He has flair and he makes you feel very comfortable."
