I have had the pleasure of studying with Alison Durham for approximately fourteen years. Throughout the years, I always knew I wanted to progress further in the dance industry but I never knew where to start. With the help and encouragement of Miss Ali, I was fortunate enough to become involved with Cecchetti USA ballet exams and summer intensives. Traveling to Virginia, Las Vegas, and Florence, Italy were only a few of the highlights Miss Ali and I experienced together. Upon deciding to audition for a spot on the CUSA team for the Cecchetti International Classical Ballet Competition in Australia, there were several exam requirements which I had to complete. I was very behind in my Cecchetti training, but Miss Ali was determined to help me succeed in my exams so I could have the opportunity to audition. She spent countless hours with me in the studio and pushed me to keep going. With her by my side I was able to pass three strenuous exams in only a matter of months. I have never met a teacher that is willing to dedicate so much of their time to help their students achieve their goals. Without Miss Ali's guidance I would not have had so many opportunities to do what I love most!
