We can really see from this just how highly esteemed he is by the entire company. So lovely to see Vadim sweeping him off his feet! Congratulations on a wonderful first career Alexander, and I wish you equal happiness and success in your next role! We'll all miss seeing you dance on stage.

The ballet world has truly lost a star

[@LeoLewis1]

What a lovely and well deserved tribute

[@joyanngoddard2033]

What a wonderful human being. Thank you for all you have given us as a person and as a dancer. God's blessing on you as you pass on the gift you have been given to other young dancers.

Thank you so much for recording this! I’m not crying….much. I’m so glad I saw him dance Lescaut at the ROH at the end February! We enjoyed it so much we went to the live cinema relay 4 days later!

Thank you for sharing this ❤ What a lovely farewell to an outstanding dancer and partner. Absolutely criminal that his Des Grieux with Frankie’s Manon wasn’t filmed.

[@TheDersertAir]

I had no idea he was going! - and I would say it's too soon... but how lovely to see someone going out on such a high. You will be so missed, but forever admired.

WHAAAAT!!! I just 'discovered' him! is this recent?

[@SuperBalletgirl101]

8 March 2024. It was only announced a few weeks previously.

[@josephcollins6033]

@@SuperBalletgirl101 Thanks for taking the time to respond. Seems odd to me, so quickly to do this. I LOVE this man's dancing; his polish and finesse and strength amaze me. Actually, I didn't even know he had begun playing the lead roles, such as above and also, is it Sigfried or Cedric, in Swan Lake. And, I had no idea about his hearing! Bless him. I hope all goes well. thanks again.

[@SuperBalletgirl101]

@@josephcollins6033 He was my absolute favourite and absolutely underused. He actually never danced the lead in Swan Lake even! If you can, watch him in Dances at a Gathering. It is a flawless performance.

[@josephcollins6033]

@@SuperBalletgirl101 Oh! You know so much more than I do. I live in US. But, all the ballet DVDs I have are from The Bolshoi and Royal Ballet, one from Italy, I believe. So, he was underused. Amazing. Show business is an odd thing. I've seen a lot of dancers, and for me to pick him out means a good little bit. I was a professional dancer but not in ballet! I thought I had seen him in Swan Lake on KZbin. Is that from Dances at a Gathering- an excerpt? I have him in small ensembles in Manon and Giselle with Muntagirov (whom I also love). He has a large secondary role in Swan Lake with Muntagitrov and then Bluebird in Sleeping Beauty. Do you know of other DVDs out there? You are so very kind!

[@An_Gold]

What ballet was that? thank you

[@emilyrhodes2350]

Manon

@@emilyrhodes2350 Thank you. Like the design on stage - image as there is some soil or if there are rocks when at distance.

[@michelboudot2882]

He was a very good presenter very good diction ..as a dancer nothing more then a soloist

[@conannethegrammarian]

He was a principal dancer, actually.

[@robertmcnamara5407]

@@conannethegrammarianI think their comment was an opinion laced with sarcasm. People forget the powers that be made Alexander principal on merit and talent and Francesca's quoted comment is valid.

[@avesraggiana]

Then you never saw him as Mercutio, or in Elite Syncopations.
