About Miss Alex
MSET, QTLS, PGCE, BA(Hons), AIDTA, Acrobatic Arts, Alixa-Flexibility
Miss Alex began dancing at the age of three, training in Ballet, Tap, and Modern Jazz before expanding into Contemporary, Theatre Craft, Freestyle, and Musical Theatre at age 12. Her passion for dance and teaching led her to achieve her first Level 4 Associate Teacher qualification with the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) at just 15 years old, before progressing to teach the IDTA syllabus alongside experienced teachers. Following her GCSEs and A-Levels, including Dance, Expressive Arts, Performing Arts, Psychology, and Law, Miss Alex completed a Level 3 qualification in Childcare before gaining a BA (Hons) Degree in Dance Practice and a PGCE specialising in Dance and Performing Arts. She later achieved Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status, achieving “Outstanding” and grades during her teacher training and teaching observations.
Alongside her studies, Miss Alex taught children and adults across several dance schools, delivering both IDTA and BATD syllabi, while continuing her own Associate Teacher Training across six dance disciplines. In 2013, she founded several after-school dance clubs, which later grew into Locomotion Dance Studios.
After graduating, Miss Alex taught Dance and Performing Arts within secondary and further education before launching Locomotion's evening and weekend classes in October 2017. By September 2019, the continued growth of the school allowed Locomotion Dance Studios to become her full-time focus. In 2020, Miss Alex further expanded her teaching qualifications by becoming a certified Acrobatic Arts teacher.
Miss Alex is passionate about creating a positive, inclusive and supportive environment where every dancer can develop confidence, creativity and skill. She regularly undertakes Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in safeguarding, behaviour management, ADHD and autism awareness, alongside dance teaching methods and techniques, syllabus choreography, IDTA examination requirements and industry developments. This ensures her knowledge and teaching remain current, allowing every student to receive safe, high-quality and inclusive training while developing a genuine enjoyment and love of dance.
