I came in extremely nervous and with a goal to learn a dance in mind. When I left, I was the opposite. I came what I set out to do, and actually looked forward to each lesson! If you're looking to start, or continue dancing please look no further than right here. Lisa is the best. You won't regret your decision

My wife and I have been taking ballroom dance lessons with Lisa for about 6 months now. Lisa has been wonderful to work with. We tried 2 other places and they were very inflexible as to their pre-planned lesson package which did not work for us.
Lisa has been patient, always on time, and genuinely fun! And we have learned so much. Our confidence is growing along with the number of dances we can do. Both my wife and I highly recommend Lisa Sparkles.

I went to Lisa Sparkles for private dance lessons with my father for our father-daughter dance at my wedding, and we had SUCH a fantastic experience! Lisa is so high energy, and has such a great way of making you feel both comfortable and also excited to dance. She really explains each little dance move and gives you tip on how to remember what to do and how to do it. My dad and I had so much fun at our classes with her, I want to go back with my husband!
