Alex Tressor — Russian immigrant, a former Broadway dancer, a Ballet teacher, a choreographer, a hockey enthusiast, a chef, and, sometimes I have a tremor, sometimes I have difficulty walking... all the time, I have Parkinson's Disease. I grew up in the U.S.S.R., and immigrated to New York as a teenager. After a few years of ballet training, I became a professional ballet dancer, morphing into a Broadway dancer. Eventually, I began teaching ballet. I taught for years at Steps Studios on Broadway in New York City, and as a guest teacher throughout the world, including as a U.S. Cultural Envoy to Kosovo. I am still an active ballet master, currently working in South Carolina.
