Welcome to DEDA!
Please take a moment to browse our website.....Enjoy the pictures of our beautiful dancers, meet our faculty, see our schedule of classes and learn about the studio we are so proud of!
For nearly four decades, Dance Expression dance arts has been so much more than just a dance studio. It’s been a place where laughter echoes through hallways, where lifelong friendships blossomed, where confidence was quietly built class after class, and where countless memories took root. It’s been a second home—a place filled with love, creativity, and the kind of magic that only dance can bring. And at the heart of that magic has always been you—our families.
Every smile at the end of a recital, every proud tear during a performance, every ride to rehearsal, and every word of encouragement whispered backstage—you’ve helped build something truly extraordinary. Your love and support have shaped DEDA into the community it is today, and we are endlessly grateful.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the incredible instructors whose hearts are in every plié and pirouette. And above all, it would not exist without the vision, devotion, and boundless love of one remarkable woman—Miss Lisa.
For 38 beautiful years, Miss Lisa has poured her soul into this studio. With grace, compassion, and fierce dedication, she created not just a dance studio, but a family. Her dream was never just about dance—it was about raising young women and men to be strong, kind, and courageous. Her spirit lives in every corner of this space, in every dancer who found their confidence here, and in every life she’s touched with her fabulousness!
Today, with full hearts and the deepest sense of honor, we share that we are stepping into the role of owners and directors of Dance Expression Dance Arts. To say we are humbled doesn’t begin to capture how we feel. We are in awe of what Miss Lisa has built, and we are so incredibly thankful that she has entrusted us to carry this legacy forward.
To our cherished families—please know that our promise to you is steadfast. We will protect, nurture, and grow this space with the same love and intention that has always guided it. We will honor the traditions that make DEDA so special while embracing new energy and fresh dreams. Most of all, we will continue to make this a place where your children feel safe to express themselves, to grow, to fall in love with dance—and to become exactly who they’re meant to be.
Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your heart. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. We are so excited for what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to take this next step—with you by our side.
With all our love and gratitude,
The New Directors of Dance Expression Dance Arts
