Meet Alison

​

Director & Owner of The One Ballroom Studio

With over 20 years of experience and a career that has taken me to the world stage, I’ve learned that the best dancers aren't just born—they are built with the right guidance.

My background is rooted in elite, high-level competition. I have represented Australia in the World Titles professionally three times and competed across the USA, Canada, the UK, Singapore, and Malaysia. I hold an internationally recognized degree in dance, have taught for some of the most iconic names in England, and was trained by the most renowned coaches in the industry globally. My work has been featured by theatre companies, government departments, and on television both in Australia and abroad.

Expert Technique Made Simple

While my resume is extensive, please don’t let it intimidate you. Because I am a true dance technician, I have the unique ability to take difficult, complex concepts and break them down into steps that are easy to understand.

For me, this isn't a hobby or a "side hustle"—this is my profession and my life’s passion. I am dedicated to helping my students grow in confidence and find their own love for the art form of dance. I have taken complete beginners who were nervous to step onto the floor and guided them to a point where they were amazed at what they could achieve.

Alison choreographed our wedding dance and I have to say she is the best teacher ever. She is super passionate and talented, knows exactly the style and vibe that we want and goes way above and beyond to put together the best routine we could ever ask for.
