Adam Cooper (born 22 July 1971) is an English dancer.

He works as both a performer and choreographer in musical theatre, and has choreographed and/or starred in award-winning shows such as On Your Toes, Singin' in the Rain and Grand Hotel.

He began his professional career as a dancer of classical ballet and contemporary ballet and is a former Principal of the Royal Ballet, a major international ballet company based in London.

Adam Cooper was born 22 July 1971 in Tooting, London to a musician father and a social worker mother.

He has an older brother, Simon Cooper, who is also a dancer and they trained at the same schools.

From a young age, he and his brother studied tap and ballet at the Jean Winkler School of Dance in Tooting.

They also played various musical instruments and sang in a choir.

At age 11, Cooper won a place at ArtsEd, a specialist performing arts school in London where he studied classical ballet, character, modern, tap, jazz and contemporary dance, as well as singing, acting and stage combat.

After completing his secondary education at the school, aged 16, he was accepted into the Royal Ballet Upper School.

At his graduation performance he played the lead role of Young Man in Ashton's the Two Pigeons.

1989

In 1989 Cooper joined the Royal Ballet and was quickly promoted to First Artist and Soloist in 1991, First Soloist 1993 and Principal Dancer in 1994.

He was recognized for his performances in the classic as well as dramatic and contemporary ballet works, and he excelled in playing cruel but sexy villains.

While with the Royal Ballet he worked extensively with choreographers Kenneth MacMillan and William Tuckett partnering all the leading ballerinas of the company including Sylvie Guillem and Darcey Bussell.

He also performed works choreographed by George Balanchine, Ashley Page, Fokine, Bronislava Nijinska, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Christopher Wheeldon, Matthew Hart, and William Forsythe.

1995

In 1995 Matthew Bourne recruited Cooper to join Adventures in Motion Pictures (now renamed New Adventures) for his radically re-interpreted production of Swan Lake.

Together they created the basic Swan movement motifs and Cooper also contributed to the choreography.

Cooper performed the dual Swan/Stranger role (the analog of the white and black swan in the classic version) all over the world and his performances won him international acclaim, multiple awards and a strong fan following.

Cooper's performance was described as one of "tremendous excitement, subtlety,emotional depth and sheer sexiness".

The popular press embraced him and his photo appeared in many magazines.
