Alyson Joy

Alyson Joy is a professional Contemporary Modern Dancer (PMD), Movement Specialist (MS), Certified Dance Teacher (various forms) and the founder/creator of the Felinity Program series.  Alyson is best known for her ability to inspire women of all ages either through her captivating performances and speaking engagements or when she facilitates group fitness classes.  She has been dancing since she was a young child and facilitating dance & group fitness classes for 14 years.  Classically trained in ballet, jazz, tap and acrobatics, she later forayed into modern and contemporary dance.  She furthered her training at the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre  in New York City and the School of Toronto Dance Theatre (STDT) where she learned to appreciate the artistic sophistication of the style and hone her talent.

After graduating from the STDT program, Joy began performing with a local modern dance company, Newton Moraes Dance Theatre.  While dancing professionally was her full-time career, she also began go go dancing at clubs and special events throughout Toronto, Mexico and Spain.

Along with her modern dance career, it was also through go go dancing that Joy began to understand the relationship between her mind and body, exploring all the different ways her body could move, and most importantly explore her artistry as a real woman.  Only accustomed to performing choreographed routines, Joy found new freedom in the art of freestyling.  As she became more comfortable with her own movement, she continued to gain this new sense of freedom because she started to let go of the idea of seeking validation from others.  She realized that this style of dance was aiding her as a woman and wanted to share those realizations with other women.   She saw creating the FELINITY program/workout as an opportunity to do this.

Since opening a Studio space that facilitates the new Felinity workout series, and the Felinity Teacher Certification Program Joy also began and completed the creation of the new internationally known DVD series: Felinity, Core Sensuality Series.  Since launching the DVD series, Alyson has had the opportunity to tour Canada as a public speaker and workshop leader dealing with topics such as women connecting to their sensuality, self-esteem, body image and the benefits of bodywork for women.  She has also started working with holistic practitioners and counselors by providing their clients with the Felinity program.

Alyson's main focus behind her performances, the Felinity corporation, and facilitation is to help women fall in love with the way their bodies move.
