Amos was born in Leeds, where he originally pursued gymnastics from the age of four up until 11. He transitioned to ballet for a few months, and joined White Lodge in 2018 at the age of 12. He then proceeded to join The Royal Ballet Upper School in 2022, and graduated in 2025 after 8 years of full-time training.
