Denmark, but has also trained at John Neumeier’s Ballet School of the Hamburg Ballet

in Germany. He was employed as a principal dancer in Tivoli’s Pantomime Theatre from

1984 to 2003. At the moment Allan is pursuing a career as a character dancer at the

of classical ballet.

Allan has taught at Scania’s Dance Theatre, the Danish Dance Theatre in addition to

teaching regularly at the Royal Swedish Ballet School and he is currently employed

to give his pupils a sense of organic flow that allows everyone to experience dance as

a union of music and movement.
