Coronation Street Alex Bain reveals new career move
Speaking to The Sun about his next plans, Alex Bain revealed that he’s taking the steps to become a choreographer.
“I will always be a dancer and one day I would love to be a choreographer and teach dance and ultimately open my own dance and performance school.”
Elaborating, Alex said: “I am currently finally taking my ballet and modern intermediate exams that I should have done when I was 16. I need those qualifications to have a chance of teaching and doing choreography.”
He then went on to say: “But dance is definitely my focus at the moment. I’d like to do a dance teaching course. I’ve been able to attend a full week’s worth of classes, which is something I haven’t been able to do for a while.”
However, fear not, he’s still hoping to carry on acting alongside this new and exciting direction.
