Growing up in Charlottesville, Virginia, a young Alyssa Lundgren dreamed of becoming a ballerina and a doctor. While her journey took a slightly different path, her love of movement, science, and the arts was already evident. She took jazz, ballet, and ballroom dance at a young age, ultimately becoming an instructor by the age of 16.

Alyssa attended James Madison University and graduated with a BS in Biology. She spent more than a decade managing a medical research lab at the University of Virginia, all while continuing to cultivate her dance, movement, and coaching profession.

After finding national competitive success and recognition, Alyssa has since routinely served as an instructor and a judge within various esteemed dance circuits and conventions throughout the United States. Her passion for body mechanics, movement, and science has also led her to become a certified personal trainer.
