Beginning our 42nd Season, Lisa has been a leader in the dance industry for many years and is the recipient of numerous Outstanding Choreography Excellence Awards and Excellence in Technique awards. Her studio has been named on of the TOP 50 Dance Studios in the Country for three consecutive years. Many of Lisa’s dance students have been accepted to various prestigious colleges and have gone on to be successful in many aspects of  dance, teaching, owning studios and performing in the entertainment industry. Whether dancing for the fun of it or with a career of dance in mind, the love and joy of dance is always at the fore front of our studio. Creating an environment for young artists to grow and succeed is one of her greatest accomplishments.
