About Alison

What you may not realise is that our Alison, creator of Stretchworks, initially trained and worked extensively as a professional dancer, working with renowned choreographers including Arlene Phillips and teaching Jazz classes at the Pineapple and Danceworks.

Her impressive dancing and acting resume on stage and TV includes the original British cast of Stephen Sondheim's “Anyone Can Whistle” the tour of “The Pajama Game" "West Side Story" and even danced for the renowned Pans People choreographer Flick Colby as part of Top of the Pops newly reformed dance group called Zoo.

Alison has also choreographed numerous pieces for artistes and worked as artistic director to oversee the running of shows. While her later career has focused mainly on Stetchworks, we are very fortunate to have her create the Danceworks class specifically for our members.
