Lisa Isenberg
Owner, Instructor, Choreographer
Lisa Marie is the founder and proud owner of Lisa Marie’s School of Dance! Success is not only measured by the longevity and growth of her school now in its 43rd year, but also by the recognition that she, her students, and teachers have received in competition awards. Trophies and accolades are wonderful, but she finds equal joy in helping students grow by providing lessons her students may apply to many facets of life, not just in the studio. Lisa is a Dance Masters of Pennsylvania and Dance Masters of America certified instructor and graduate of IUP with a major in Elementary Education and minor in dance. Lisa continues her education through professional workshops, conventions, seminars, master classes, and trips to NYC and Los Angeles. As a member of Professional Dance Teachers Assoc., Dance Masters and Strongland Chamber of Commerce, Lisa wears a multitude of metaphorical “hats”. She has choreographed for high school musicals, band fronts, show choirs, Brownie Troops and weddings. Her students also provide entertainment for community events, churches, and assisted living centers in order to give back and share their talent with the community.
Away from the studio, Lisa holds a second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do and is involved at St. Mary’s Church, where she is a Eucharistic Minister. In addition, she is an independent counselor for families whose children are born with cleft lips and/or palates. Together with her husband, Ike, she enjoys spending time with her married children and grandchildren. She continues to count her blessings and is thankful to her immediate family and extended dance family for their support and loyalty while sharing in her lifelong dream.

Asti loves working with all ages and talent levels, but has a special place in her heart for the “Princess Camp'' that she created in 2018 and has become an annual event.
