Training...

Alison started her movement training in 1986, studying Expressive Mime and Movement with Adam Darius and Kazimir Koleznik at the London Mime Centre. From 1996-98, she took various courses from the Dance Foundation Programme at Kensington and Chelsea College, where she studied with different teachers including Jo Ellison, and also Filip Van Hufel, of Retina Dance Company. In 1998 Alison studied at the Laban Centre, London, graduating with a Professional Diploma in Dance Studies in 1999.

For a brief period, Ali taught at the Cambridge Theological Federation, looking at Dance in Worship from both a practical and theoretical perspective. She also taught GCSE Dance at a Cambridgeshire School. She has taught dance at Stagecoach Kenilworth, and at a Contemporary Dance after-school club with students from Henley-in-Arden High School.

Ali first starting doing yoga seriously when living in Bedford and taking classes with Rosie Wright. Now in Birmingham she does classes in Leela Hot Yoga at Yogahaven Birmingham, Ashtanga and Vinyasa flow at Virgin Active Solihull, and in Vini Yoga at Tanworth in Arden Village Hall. She intends to study yoga in more depth with a view to teaching in the hopefully not too distant future.
