Resume:
In her 20-year career as a classical ballerina, she performed with ballet and
contemporary companies in France, Italy, New York, New Jersey and New Orleans.
In New Orleans, as the director of the New Orleans Ballet Ensemble, she
implemented Pilates mat classes as part of the training for the company members.
Allison discovered the many strength, balance and flexibility benefits Pilates
has to offer while rehabilitating from a dance injury.
Following 12 years of using Pilates as a form of cross training to her dancing,
Allison chose to teach Pilates. She completed the instructor certification
program through the New York Pilates Guild which required 600 hours of
apprenticeship under the guidance of Romana Kryzanowska, a devotee and pupil of
Joseph Pilates as well as a two-week intensive study under Bob Leikens, a master
teacher and director of Power Pilates.
Allison also teaches Pilates for the dancers at San Francisco Ballet. and is a
teacher trainer for Power Pilates of NYC.
