About
Dancing and teaching dance are my passions—I truly couldn’t imagine life without them. I’ve performed for most of my life and spent the last 26 years working as a professional dancer and certified instructor. I specialize in private lessons for social dancing, competitions, and wedding dance choreography. I love helping couples feel confident, connected, and relaxed on the dance floor. Whether you want a simple, elegant first dance, fun choreography, or just to feel comfortable social dancing together, I’ll guide you step-by-step so it feels easy and enjoyable. From first-timers to seasoned dancers, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style. If you’re ready to have fun while learning to dance, I’d love to work with you.

Just DO IT! My husband and I wanted to take a couple of dance lessons so that we didn’t do a full on bear hug at a wedding reception. We did not want to be professional dancers, nor be in any competitions. We just wanted to learn social dance. To make a long story short, we connected with Allison and ended up taking several years of dance lessons just because of her. I was more enthusiastic at first, husband not so much. However, Allison made him confident. My husband is a ham now 😂. She has a way of teaching and correcting without making you feel like a failure. There are so many reasons to say why you should take lessons from Allison, just do it. You will not regret it!

Allison is such a kind and helpful ballroom dance instructor. She made every lesson fun and easy to follow, and always made us feel comfortable while learning. She also helped choreograph our wedding dance routine, and it turned out so beautifully. Thanks to her, we felt confident and had an amazing time dancing at our wedding. I would definitely recommend Allison to anyone looking for a great dance teacher!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I was introduced to ballroom dancing through an instructor renting space at a studio I was teaching hip hop at in 2001. After training with that instructor for a couple years, I trained to become a certified instructor through Arthur Murray and returned to teaching and competing independently.

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    I choreographed around 30 people in a flash mob parade marriage proposal. The project took about 2 months total and it was so much fun.
