About Me

Hello! I'm Alexandra May Ballance

I created Ballance Choreography to pursue my passion for choreography and to share my love of dance. Through my choreographic process I aspire to create a comfortable environment that allows the couples’ love and story to shine through in my work.

I have been dancing since before I could walk, and choreographing since I was about 8 years old. Modern and contemporary dance have been the most prevalent in my life, and I have also been trained in many other styles.

I believe with my background I am able to make my choreography more approachable and not quite as foreign to the body if you have never danced before. Even with all of my training and performing, at the end of the day I have learned how no matter how experienced you are, at the root of it dance is truly a means of expression. It is unspoken communication — and what better way to celebrate the moment than to say everything while never speaking a word.

Approachable Movement

Tailoring movement so that it feels comfortable and intuitive to your body, even with zero dance background.

Authentic Expression

Translating your real connection, quirks, and relationship into a bespoke, unforgettable first dance.

Behind the Scenes

A Little Insight into My Choreographic Process

No two processes are exactly the same for every piece of choreography, but I generally like to start with a modern improvisation to your song while using the inspiration you give me about your relationship to paint the picture in my head.

I will sometimes do multiple improvs with different intentions in mind. Then I will watch my recordings and then use my movement to directly inspire my choreography as I curate it to be for you. This allows me to get more original thoughts for your pieces.
