Alison’s birthday is July 1st. She is originally from Hingham, Massachusetts. This is her sophomore year here at UNCW. She is Business major with a concentration in accounting.

Alison has been dancing since she was three year old, making this her 16th year! She started out in her hometown at the Hingham Community Center Ballet School. Her dance teacher there was a former ballerina in the New York City Ballet!

Her most embarrassing costume was from her sophomore year of high school. She danced to the song “Memory” from the Musical “Cats” and she wore a color uni-tard and a head piece that was shaped like a cats head. “It was horrible and itchy and the fake fur would get stuck in everyone’s mouth while they were dancing!” – Sounds terrible, yet amusing!

Alison is a member of Force! This is her second year with Dance Co.!

What is her favorite thing about Dance Co.?

“My favorite thing about dance co. would have to be the friendships between everyone. I wasn’t expecting to make such close relationships with everyone on my team, even girls from Movement and Energy! I love all my Dance Co. sisters!”

A fun fact about Alison: She’s danced at seven different dance studios because she’s moved around so much!

“I mainly just love that I can continue my passion for dance in college. When I was at UNCG my freshman year. they didn’t have anything like Dance Company. I’m very thankful to be able to do this and with such amazing girls. I’ve never had a lot of friends that are girl, but now I do thanks to Dance Company! I honestly don’t know what I would do without them.” – We loving having you Emily!
