She quickly fell in love with the art of dance and has spent many years sharing her passion of dance with everyone around her. Lisa B graduated high school in 2012, thinking that was the end of her dancing career. Little did she know what was in store for her future. Over that summer, Lisa B choreographed and performed in fashion shows for Macy’s department store. This reminded her how much dance meant to her. Lisa B changed her major in college and decided to stay in Orlando so she could continue to spread the love of dance. August 2012, Lisa B began teaching students of all ages.
