Originally from South Wales, Alys trained at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, graduating in 2016 with a specialisation in classical ballet. She then moved to Bologna, Italy, to undertake a year of further training with Art Factory International.

As a freelancer, Alys has worked with companies and choreographers such as Compagnia Zappalà Danza, Jones the Dance/Y Ddawns, EQ Dance CO, Dylan Quinn Dance Theatre, Liz Roche, Krystal Lowe, and Anna Watkins. Alys has also worked on commercial projects, such as music videos and fashion editorials, dancing with choreographers Matt Walker and Taira Foo. Over the course of her career, Alys has collaborated with musicians, writers, filmmakers and dramaturgs. Alys first came to NDCWales in 2022 as a part of Laboratori, and then again in 2023 to perform in 4x10. Alys joined NDCWales in 2024, and so far has worked on creations by Matthew William Robinson and Melanie Lane.
