Alisa is from the Chicagoland area and has been dancing and competing for over 13 years. She started with her first love of Country in the UCWDC country circuit and eventually moved into the West Coast Swing circuit and has won titles over the years in the United States.

Teaching has become a primary focus over the past few years as she realized how rewarding it was to watch her students grow as dancers and share the passion of her life. As a teacher she puts her focus on building off the basics with good technique. Her goal is to produce dancers with a solid foundation but most of all have fun in the process.

It has been her pleasure to teach throughout the Midwest and has recently broadened her horizons to her favorite vacation spot in Maui.
