The founder
Born and raised in Rochester, New York — from gymnast to international professional dancer, teacher, choreographer and founder of the Alaina Visalli Dance Company.
The beginning
Trained as a gymnast from a young age, a severe injury at ten led Alaina's gymnastics coach to point her toward dance. She fell in love with it immediately, taking her first class at Performance Plus with Patty Drake Bellucco.
Alaina went on to train at Performance Plus Dance Productions (Greece, NY), the Broadway Dance Center (NYC) and Steps On Broadway (NYC) — and attended Point Park College for dance.
“We don’t just teach steps. We teach the kind of confidence you can carry onto any stage.”
As a professional
Alaina has performed in more than twelve countries in professional dance jobs, from cruise ships to Broadway revues to the world's most beautiful theatres.
The teacher & choreographer
Alaina went back to Rochester Institute of Technology for business and learned as much as she could to prepare for her own dance studio — and the results show in every class.
Not only is she skilled in ballet, lyrical, jazz and tap, Alaina can teach acrobatics, ballroom, latin, hip hop and contemporary — a full repertoire rooted in her own professional experience.
Every one who walks out is someone’s inspiration.
