Marisa’s dance journey began right here at Panorama School of Dance, where she trained extensively across multiple styles. She studied in the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet syllabus, completing her Advanced 1 vocational exam, and furthered her training with a three-week ballet intensive in St. Petersburg, Russia at the age of 15. Alongside her ballet training, Marisa developed a deep passion and competitive experience in Jazz, Lyrical, Modern, and Tap, earning recognition for her versatility and artistry on stage.
Outside the studio, Marisa is an elementary school teacher and continues to teach part time, bringing her love of learning and mentorship into both the classroom and the dance world. She is also a proud mom of two, with her daughter now dancing at Panorama and following in her footsteps.
Having recently taken over the studio from her mom, Miss Lisa, Marisa is dedicated to continuing her mother’s incredible legacy while also infusing the studio with fresh ideas, energy, and opportunities. Her vision is to inspire dancers to explore a wide range of styles, building both strong technical foundations and a lifelong love for the art of dance.
