Testimonial 

Lisa has an incredible understanding of the human body and the intricacies of training dancers. The exercises are geared at helping dancers to reach their goals without pushing through unsafe ranges or movements by understanding and developing the strength/mobilization in relation to the desired movement/skill. Her passion is infectious and so much of her work has helped to inform how I teach dancers.
