Alanna Archibald

Alanna Archibald began her dance training at the age of 8 in Los Angeles, California, with the Yuri Grigoriev School of Russian Ballet. At 15, she was chosen by audition to continue both her academic and dance training at the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts while continuing her private coaching with Julia Bourlina, former dancer of the Kirov Ballet. At 16, she was chosen to be one of 20 students accepted to the Rudra Bejart School and Atelier, studying ballet, modern, percussion, and vocals. She continued her schooling online and received a high school diploma from STAR Prep Academy, a private school in Los Angeles. After completing the 2-year school program, she was chosen for the company, Ballet Bejart, and worked as a Principal and Soloist, performing throughout the world. After 13 years with the company, she transitioned to become freelance with dance companies in Europe and signed with The Fashion Composers Agency in Amsterdam, a modeling agency specializing in dancers. She has completed modeling campaigns with Marc Jacobs, Longchamp, and SEAT Arona Car and continues to seek artistic opportunities to pursue her lifelong passion for movement.
