Miss Luisa has been dancing since before she could walk & twirled her way into the DANCE1 studios when she was 3. Performing an ‘impromptu’ song & dance solo for the rest of the class, Miss Lu knew she was destined for a life of dance. She participated in as many classes as DANCE1 offered, filling her afternoons with numerous styles of dance genres. Miss Luisa has taken every performance opportunity available to her, including competing in district dance eisteddfods, completing her C.B.A.A. student dance examinations each year, choreographing school dance performances and organising House Dance Festivals. On top of all this, Miss Luisa has even expanded her repertoire at university to include some funky Bollywood moves.

​

Working her way through the DANCE1 Teacher Training Program, Miss Lu now gets the opportunity to share her knowledge & passion for dance with her students. Miss Lu is also a mentor to our assistant teachers in the DanceStep program - a role that she takes with great responsibility.

​

Our 'Demi-Boss' is always learning and striving to improve her teaching techniques. Miss Lu has over 10 years of experience in ACRO-Dance training with ADTA & Acrobatic Arts. She has completed her C.B.A.A. Teachers Certification & A.T.O.D Certificate IV in Dance Teaching & Management. More recently, Miss Lu has completed her Certification in Rhythm Works Integrative Dance (RWID), a dance program focused on teaching students with special needs and learning differences.

​

One of Miss Lu's strengths is 'Empathy' and her approach to teaching allows her to make meaningful connections and help every student succeed. Every dancer (from our Tinies to Adults) is special and each student deserves the opportunity to 'Glow & Grow' in the Studio. In 2024, Miss Lu intends to stay true to the DANCE1 Core Value, ‘Inclusive’. Her aim is to foster a supportive environment where every dancer feels seen, valued, and empowered

 

When our ‘Demi-Boss’ isn't at the studio, you can find her in the DANCE1 Office, crocheting, crafting & adding to her IMPRESSIVE leggings collection! Over the year, you’ll need to keep an eye out for Miss Lu’s #funpants collection - she has quite the collection going and endeavours to wear a different pair without repeating during the year. Challenge accepted!
