Early life and athletic career
Alysia began competitive roller figure skating at the age of six, training in the artistic discipline that mirrors ice figure skating in its jumps and spins but is performed on quad skates.3 She competed through her late teens and early twenties, representing the United States five times at the Roller Figure Skating World Championships as a Team USA World Class Athlete.2
After retiring from competition at approximately age twenty,3 she worked in Corporate America as an executive assistant, moving through sales, marketing, and staffing roles.3 During that period she began performing on skates at Good Times, a speakeasy-style club in Los Angeles, working Thursday through Saturday nights with a small group of skaters.3 The performance income she generated significantly exceeded her corporate salary, convincing her to pivot fully to entertainment.3
Career
Alysia founded LA Roller Entertainment and the companion company LA Roller Girls Entertainment, building a business around roller skating performance, instruction, and event production.2 With more than twenty years of technical skating experience and fifteen-plus years of teaching, she has become one of the most visible skating coordinators working in Hollywood.2
Her live entertainment credits include performing on major broadcast and event stages: the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show (2024) with headliner Usher, the American Music Awards, NBC's The Voice, Jimmy Kimmel Live, America's Got Talent, and Lip Sync Battle.2 She has worked as a skater, choreographer, or movement director alongside artists including Usher, P!nk, Lizzo, Kevin Hart, and Alicia Keys, and in brand campaigns and productions for Gucci, Adidas, Marc Jacobs, Disney, and Tommy Hilfiger.2
Her screen credits include the film Cherry (2022), in which she played a Roller Girl,1 and an appearance in the Netflix series Stranger Things.2 She also choreographed the music video for Purple Disco Machine feat. Karen Harding: "Love for Days."1
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
In Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), Alysia served in three simultaneous on-set capacities.
As an actress, she played Crystal, a carhop waitress at the Spinners Roller Hop diner in Summerville. In the film Crystal appears briefly during an evening shift, exchanging a few words with fellow carhop Lucky Domingo about plans for later.
As a stunt performer, she served as the skating double for Danielle Kennedy, who played the Roller Granny character.1 Kennedy's Roller Granny performs the extended skating sequences at Spinners, and Alysia executed those skating shots.
As choreographer and instructor, she designed and coordinated all of the roller skating movement seen in the Spinners scenes and served as the on-set skating instructor for the production.1 The combination of acting, stunt, and choreography credits on a single film is unusual and reflects the degree to which the Spinners sequences were built around her expertise.
