International dance instruction and performance, psychology of dance, and events.
Lisa Allred is an international instructor and performer from Cary, North Carolina, USA. Lisa teaches and performs group improvisation with her international troupe, Red Sage Collective. Lisa is best known for the FCBD-with-Baskets dialect she helped create with Dawn Ruckert and their former troupe, Dayanisma. Lisa also teaches FCBD with Veil (a dialect created by her twin sister, Terri Allred), with LEDfans, and with fire. In addition to FCBDstyle, Lisa teaches and performs two types of fusion group improvisation. Lisa is also a psychotherapist and offers a variety of workshops that combine psychology and dance on topics such as stage presence, motivation, synchronicity, creativity within structure, conflict management, managing troupes, and more!
At Lisa Allred Dance and Red Sage Collective, we are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment. Everyone is invited to participate in classes, events, and the Lisa Allred Dance and Red Sage Collective community as long as they are willing to act with respect and kindness. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status. We strive to make everything about your participation inclusive, from costs to costuming! If you have an experience that isn’t consistent with these values, we want to hear from you so we can do better!

“Lisa is an engaging, knowledgeable, interactive, dynamic, extremely well-prepared and fun instructor. She is dedicated to imparting her extensive experience and knowledge base to her students, and in the process, inspires and encourages them to be the best they can be. As someone who has been a student of hers, a colleague, and a studio owner where she teaches, I can sincerely say that she is one of the very best instructors around!”
