Alice Berry


Alice trained at The Centre Performing Arts College under the guidance of Miss Karen King and other inspiring mentors. During her time at college, Alice had the opportunity to train with industry professionals, including Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, choreographer of *SIX the Musical*, and Freya Sands, Associate Choreographer of *SIX*. A highlight of her college experience was being selected to assist in choreographing the “Move It Runway” dance piece in 2020, working closely with Emma Harris who trained and performed with The Royal Ballet as well as completing a very successful West End career. These experiences shaped Alice’s skills and gave her a strong foundation in both performance and choreography. 


After graduating in 2020, Alice pursued a career in performing, spending three years working in holiday resorts. She enjoyed being part of the entertainment teams and took on the role of Dance Captain for two seasons at Beverley Holidays. There, she collaborated with Bass Beatz Productions to bring vibrant and high-energy shows to the park’s guests. Alice cherished the experience of performing regularly and leading her team, which helped her grow both as a dancer and a leader. 


Currently, Alice is completing her Diploma in Dance Education through ISTD, further expanding her knowledge and skills in dance teaching.


After taking a short break, Alice is thrilled to start teaching at Redhurst and can not wait to pass on her knowledge and passion onto the students! Alice is extremely passionate and dedicated to helping her students grow as both dancers and individuals, ensuring that each class is a positive and inspiring experience for everyone involved! 


Alice looks forward to embarking on this new chapter with you all!
