Alleyne Dance was founded in 2014 by sisters Kristina and Sadé Alleyne. Their aesthetic reflects their diverse background of athleticism and dance training. AD blends Afro- Caribbean, Hip Hop, Kathak and Circus Skills within a contemporary dance context. Their movement is fast paced and dynamic with infusions of lyrical and fluid motion, with a focus on rhythms and textures.

Kristina and Sadé’s emotional bond and expression shine through in the physicality and fluidity of their movements as they portray stories in an abstract way. Over the past six years they have built and developed the company, striving for high quality and excellence as they deliver their two main objectives; performance and education work.

The company’s production, A Night’s Game, has been touring since 2016 in the UK and to over 10 countries, with dates in 2019/20 including Australia, Austria, Germany and part of the Rural Dance Touring Initiative UK. AD newest work The Other Side Of Me is touring and has been to Canada and London. AD has received over 10 choreographic commissions including The Bench, creating an outdoor work on 2faced Dance Company, which is due to be toured from 2020 and The BluePrint Bursary Research Fund with Without Walls, which is due to be created in 2020/21.

The education work has been delivered in a range of settings around the world including training institutions, youth groups, professional companies and dancers and is designed to support the individual creative mind, passion, determination, strength and most importantly, their intention and belief in themselves.

Alleyne Dance has a slogan Passion and Sweat; passion will lead you into a sweaty situation. In their practise they study how physicality can create an emotion or character. Alleyne Dance audiences vary from different ages, with them feeling emotionally touched, charged, and inspired.
