Born in Phoenix, Arizona, and shaped by his Serbian roots, Aleksander Subotic is a dynamic force in the world of dance. Trained at the School of Mystic Ballet under the mentorship of Goran Subotic, Aleksander's journey has been marked by rigorous training and prestigious scholarships at institutions such as Harid Conservatory, American Ballet Theater, and Miami City Ballet—where he received a personal invitation from Edward Villella.
Joining Mystic Ballet in 2012, Aleksander's repertoire is a testament to his versatility, encompassing works by renowned choreographers such as Sidra Bell, Jozsef Czaba Hajzer, Brian Enos, Lauren Edson, Gabrielle Lamb, Austin McCormick, Stephan Thoss, Sergei Vanaev, and, notably, his collaborations with his father, Goran Subotic. His performances have garnered critical acclaim, particularly in Mystic Ballet's Swan Lake, Lamb’s Transit of Venus, and Goran Subotic’s What About Me?
A dance critic for The Day, Sharma Howard, described Aleksander Subotic as “Tall, regal and thundering with the conflicting emotions of the prince character, Aleksander Subotic commanded the stage with both an animal magnetism as well as the soaring, ethereal ideal of a man. Tender and attentive to his partner, Subotic displayed an adept command of artistic interpretation impressive for a young dancer.”
Not confined to a single stage, Aleksander has graced venues throughout New England and across the globe, including Jacob’s Pillow, Foxwoods Resort Casino, MGM Grand Theater, and international tours in Japan, Germany, Serbia, and Nicaragua. His teaching journey spans continents, offering master classes and TIC Technique contemporary workshops in prestigious cities worldwide.
