In this episode of Lenses on Leadership, we speak to Kristina and Sadé Alleyne, Dancers, Teachers, Choreographers, Artistic Directors of Alleyne Dance and National Youth Dance Company 2025-2026.
We speak about their journey, how and why their practice has developed, and how their interest in working with diverse groups of people has shaped their company’s work. We talk about maintaining our curiosity within ourselves and the artists we work with, the significance of language, and techniques to uphold ourselves not just as artists but as people.
