Our Dance Philosophy

---

Allison has been dancing since she was four years old, dedicating her life to the art form. Her training is rooted in Ballet, which she believes is the essential foundation for all modern dance styles.

As a top competitive Acro Dancer, Allison’s success is a testament to her extensive training in the Acrobatic Arts. She has had the privilege of studying with some of the industry's most respected dancer-instructors, including Drew Burgess, Joey Arrigo, Briar Nolet, and Derek Piquette.

Allison's dedication and talent have earned her a place in the top 10 at the Dynasty Acro Competition for two consecutive years. In 2023, she proudly competed on Team USA, where she helped her team achieve a remarkable fourth-place finish.

Mr. Rich, the founder of Allison's Dance Company, has had a lifelong passion for dance. His journey began in his teenage years, where his love for Latin dance led him to meet his wife, Mrs. Crissy, who plays a vital role in keeping the studio running smoothly.

When his daughter, Allison, was just old enough to walk, it was clear that she shared his love for dance. Recognizing her passion, Mr. Rich was determined to nurture her talent. This journey led them to discover the world of Acro Dance, which intensified their shared passion. They found the Acrobatic Arts program and its dedicated staff to be the perfect fit for their goals.

Mr. Rich is a certified Acrobatic Arts teacher and studio owner, and his expertise goes even further. He is also certified in Kinesiology and Aerial Arts. His extensive knowledge and certifications ensure that Allison's Dance Company is a well-rounded and top-tier studio, dedicated to providing the best in acrobatic dance education.

Miss Britney is a dedicated dance professional who is always expanding her knowledge and skills. She is constantly researching and learning new techniques, with a future goal of earning a Master of Fine Arts in Dance Performance.

At the studio, you'll find Miss Britney teaching a variety of classes, including ballet, contemporary, and tap. She is known for her vibrant purple tap shoes and for encouraging students to step out of their comfort zones. Through various improvisational techniques, she helps dancers explore and develop their own unique self-expression.

Miss Kendall has been a dedicated student at Allison's Dance Company since 2019, where she quickly developed her skills with a strong focus on technique. As a certified Acrobatic Arts Assistant, she is an invaluable member of our team, helping to instruct our youngest dancers and ensure they build a solid foundation.

Beyond her role as an assistant, Miss Kendall is one of our top performers. She has been recognized as a top 10 performer worldwide and proudly represented us as a member of Team USA. We are incredibly proud of her accomplishments and her unwavering willingness to help wherever she is needed.
