Allison Perhach trained locally in her hometown of Leesburg, Virginia before graduating from Indiana University with a degree in Ballet Performance and Arts Management. She was a BalletMet second company member for two seasons before joining Alberta Ballet. Now in her eighth season, Allison has enjoyed working with a variety of choreographers and in diverse styles throughout her career. Dancing the Sugar Plum Fairy, Helen Pickett’s Petal, and most recently as Mercedes in Francesco Ventriglia’s Don Quixote have been highlights. Allison was promoted to Soloist in 2024 during Ventriglia’s first season as Artistic Director and holds a Masters Certificate in Arts Management and Cultural Leadership from the University of Connecticut. She loves connecting with audiences all over the world, but has a special sense of pride when performing in Alberta. When she is not dancing, you can find Allison biking through Calgary's pathways or volunteering at Folk Fest!
