"I highly recommend Lisa to anyone interested in dance! The positive impact she's had on both my six-year-old and myself is remarkable. Her classes provided my six-year-old with a fun and inviting first experience in dance, fostering a real love for ballet. My daughter came away from each session with Lisa excited to go back and eager to show off her new moves.
As for me, I took Lisa's adult ballet classes, which marked my return to ballet after a long break. These classes were just what I needed. Lisa knows how to challenge her students regardless of their skill level, while making sure everyone could keep up. She was incredibly clear when explaining movements, which helped me remember the basics and improve quickly.
Lisa is an excellent instructor who cares about her students and their progress. Both my daughter and I have benefitted greatly from her classes, and I couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking to start or return to ballet!"

"Thank you so much for cultivating such a loving, safe, nurturing (and still structured!) environment for our daughter, Greta, to experience ballet for the first time. We were so touched by how sensitively, intuitively, and playfully you engage with these kids and make the experience fun and meaningful for them. We feel so lucky to have found you!"

"Lisa is an exceptional teacher. I have been dancing for many years (in high school, at UM, community classes) and she is one of the best dance teachers I have ever had. She is extremely organized, has a wonderful sense of humor, experienced, and balances high expectations with sensitivity, patience, and a keen understanding of individual ability and needs. Lisa explains complicated concepts so clearly that, in 5 minutes, she was able to help me understand things like how to position my hands in a way that no one has ever been able to before. I cannot say enough good things about Lisa. I feel so fortunate to have this class available to me. I can’t wait to start again this spring, and add a second day!"
