Alli Burgess is a New York City–based dancer whose training bridges the worlds of commercial performance and classical technique. She holds a BFA in Dance and a BA in journalism from the University of Arizona, where she developed a strong foundation in contemporary and jazz alongside extensive training in ballet and concert dance.

Her movement quality is shaped by both coasts—rooted in the precision and discipline of classical training, with the versatility, speed, and performance-driven style of the Los Angeles commercial dance scene. Alli has trained and assisted under industry-leading choreographers including Marguerite Derricks, Cat Rendic, and Cedric Dodd, bringing a dynamic, adaptable presence to every space she enters.

As a performer, she has appeared in New York Fashion Week, the NY Comedy Festival, and concert dance works across Los Angeles and New York. Her work carries a strong theatrical sensibility, blending storytelling and performance with technical clarity—making her equally at home in commercial, concert, and theater-driven work.

In addition to performing, Alli has worked closely with top choreographers as an assistant and production assistant, gaining valuable experience behind the scenes. She currently serves as a convention and competition director for Dance Uproar, where she combines her passion for dance with her expertise in event coordination and leadership.

With a strong foundation in both performance and production, Alli is passionate about creating meaningful, high-energy experiences both onstage and off.
