Alexander Kotelenets

Instructor

A native of Kiev, Ukraine, Alexander Kotelenets began his training at
the Kiev State Ballet School. After coming to the United States, he
continued his training at Houston Ballet’s Ben Stevenson Academy, and
was a Company Member with Houston Ballet before joining Texas Ballet

ballets, but claims “Tybalt” in Romeo and Juliet, as his
favorite role. Mr. Kotelenets considers himself incredibly lucky to be
