Alison Hollingsworth has been teaching ballet for over 13 years. Alison studied intensively at Birmingham Southern College Dance Department concentrating in Vaganova ballet technique. During this time she also performed and taught throughout the Southeast. After college Alison moved to NYC where in addition to ballet she trained in pilates, floor barre work, and the David Howard teaching method to augment her teaching style to include a kinesthetic approach to help dancers use their bodies in the healthiest way and to maximize fluidity of movement. While in NYC Alison taught ballet with Broadway Dance Center Teen and Open Programs, Ballet Arts at City Center, and various private studios while continuing to perform, choreograph, and teach master classes. Prior to relocating to Charlotte, Alison spent three years teaching ballet and ballet fitness in Seattle, Washington. She is excited to be at Iron Butterfly Pilates™ and looks forward to sharing Ballet Fitness with Charlotte!
