EDUCATION
Contemporary Dance, Grant McEwan
Alice began dancing at the age of 3 in her small hometown, starting with ballet. She attended numerous summer dance schools, including the Royal Winnipeg Ballet summer school at age 10. The following year, she was accepted into the Yorkshire Ballet School in England.
Inspired by her instructor, Alice expanded her interests to other dance forms, with Modern/Contemporary dance becoming her greatest passion. She joined the Youth Ballet Company of Saskatchewan during her senior years and, after graduating high school, enrolled in the Contemporary Dance program at Grant McEwan University in Edmonton.
Alice developed a fascination with the human body and pursued further education in Massage Therapy to deepen her understanding of movement, health maintenance, and the prevention and healing of dance-related injuries.
Alice also fell in love with Middle Eastern Dance and became actively involved with local groups. She later joined the professional Tribal style dance group "Beduins of the Red Tent," performing at various shows and events. She also taught others this style to educate them about the true meaning of “Belly Dance” and the beautiful expression of body fluidity.
Dance has been one of the most pivotal and influential parts of Alice’s life. Her dream is to continue exposing others to the joy and diversity of dance, regardless of age or level.
