Aisilyn is originally from Nottingham, NH and began her dance career at Corinne’s School of Dance in Rochester, NH. While at Corinne’s, she studied various styles of dance with a focus in Broadway style Jazz, Kickline, and Tap, participating in regional and national dance competitions. As a freshman in high school, Aisilyn began teaching Happy Feet Ballet and Tap under the guidance of Corinne Allaire, later incorporating this work as part of her high school senior project.

Aisilyn is a graduate of Plymouth State University and holds a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in History with a double minor in Northern New England Heritage Studies and Dance. She was a member of the PSU Dance Division under the direction of Amanda Whitworth, studying Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Modern styles along with Dance Theory and History. While at PSU, she expanded her studies to include Giordano Jazz, Dance Pedagogy and Choreography, and Stage Management under the tutelage of Lenore Sousa and Jacqueline Young.

Aisilyn had participated in the American College Dance Association Festival during her time at PSU, where she presented choreography to professionals and educators from along the East Coast. During her free time, Aisilyn participated in the Contemporary Dance Ensemble as both performer and choreographer as well as serving as an executive board member within the Iota Delta Chi Sorority. While in her undergraduate studies, she had performed as the Queen in the Sole City Spring Ballet of Cinderella (2019) as a guest artist, which spurred Aisilyn to join Sole City Dance a year after graduating.

Aisilyn later received her Master’s of Science degree in Library Information Science and Technology with a concentration in Archival Management from Simmons University. Currently a Library director in Center Harbor, NH, she continues to be active in Sole City Dance as a student and teacher. She loves to participate in the annual Nutcracker and choreograph Tap routines for both Solstice and Young Companies. Aisilyn specializes in Rhythm Tap and Giordano jazz, loving the high-energy and intricate movements of both styles. A lover of artistic freedom and movement, Aisilyn is excited to continue her dance career at Sole City Dance and share that love with her students and colleagues.
