Allisyn

Allisyn has been a lover of dance and movement from an early age. Immerse in dance from the age of 3, Allisyn danced in recitals, competitions, and summer programs culminating in pursuing a professional ballet career at the age of fourteen. She has trained and done summer programs with Boston Ballet School, American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet School, and Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. In 2010, Allisyn began her career as a professional ballet dancer at the age of 20 with the Texas Ballet Theatre in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. During her 12 years with the company, Allisyn danced and originated numerous classical and contemporary roles rising to the rank of principle dancer. Some of her favorite roles included In The Middle Somewhat Elevated by William Forsythe, Minus 16 by Ohad Naharin, DGV: Danse a Grande Vitesse by Christopher Wheeldon, Voluntaries by Glen Tetley, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Lambarena by Val Caniparoli.

A major stress fracture injury in 2014 gave Allisyn the opportunity to immerse herself in other forms of exercise and rehabilitation for a whole year. Having always loved and been a student of Pilates and yoga, she discovered GYROTONICS®. She worked closing with Michelle Gifford, former New York Ballet soloist and current Ballet West Ballet Master to rehab her injury and come back to dance stronger. Through her developed love and support of GYROTONICS®, Allisyn began the path to her teaching certificate, completing it in 2016.

Allisyn retired from the professional ballet world in 2022 after the birth of her second child and continues to teach ballet and pursue guesting opportunities Allisyn and her husband, Max, and kids moved to South Pasadena from Fort Worth, Texas in the summer of 2023. Allisyn is excited to be joining the team at Gold Line Pilates.
