Dance has been a keen interest of Allison’s since she was very young. Years of formal training as a child led to acceptance in several prominent ballet companies. Beginning at age 16 she joined Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle.  Her career in dance then continued with American Ballet Ensemble, Ballet Austin and Staatstheatre Darmstadt in Germany.  Allison has been featured as a soloist in ballets that include Les Sylphides, Lieber Laser, Raymonda, La Fille Mal Gardee, Pas de Trois, Petrushka, Bolero, Swan Lake, Serenade and Symphony in C. She has also had the unique experience of performing as a dancer in operas while living in Germany. Favorites being Orpheus and Eurydike, where she was featured as Cupid, and Der Graf von Luxemburg.  Her other credits include roles in the musical productions of Man of La Mancha, Showboat, Annie and Cinderella. 

      Allison’s affiliation with MTOC continues to be a source of joy and she was delighted to work as choreographer on last summer's Joseph as well as the 2006 production of Guys and Dolls and A Night on Broadway (2005). Other recent works include choreography for El Dorado High School's production of Honk! and Columbus Tustin Middle School's production of Seussical Jr. and Honk Jr. Allison has also recently worked with Newport Theatre Arts Center on its productions of Baby (2007), Adventures of a Comic Book Artist (2006) and Schoolhouse Rock – Live (2005). In addition to teaching dance in the United States and Europe and working as a choreographer, Allison has performed on television, modeled and continues to perform publicly.  A dedicated wife and mother, Allison finds her supportive husband Bryn her favorite dance partner and considers her three daughters, Tessa, Chloe, and Sydney, to be her best creations to date.
