Lisa's School of Dance opened in 1982 when Lisa Testa purchased the studio at the age of 17. She ran the studio while attending college at Kent State University as a Dance and Recreational Education major. The Studio originated just down the road from where we operate from today. It began with only one teacher (Lisa), one dance studio, and a very small office.
Today, the studio has grown to 12+ teachers, four dance studios, and an extensive office staff. Lisa and her teaching staff have choreographed several award-winning routines which have been taken to regional and national competitions in Ohio and surrounding states and several of our teachers are certified Acrobatic Arts instructors.
