Whilst completing a BA (Hons) with QTS degree at Liverpool John Moores University (specialising in English & Drama) to become a Primary School teacher, Alison trained at The Maureen Jeffery School of Dance in Southport on a dance and teacher training course. Here she completed Associate level 'Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing' examinations (ISTD) in Tap, National, Modern Theatre and Jazz and she also completed her Advanced ISTD dance qualifications.
