Welcome To My Class....
Hello! My name is Lisa Bredahl and I am originally from Northern Michigan, near Traverse City. I began dancing at age 14 and one year later I began teaching dance at a local community education program.
I have performed professionally with 3 x 3 Dance, Company Dance Traverse, Young Michigan Dances, Kalamazoo Junior Dance Co, West Michigan Dance Collaborative and many productions through Western Michigan University’s Dance Department. I once played the Flying Witch in Hansel & Gretel at Miller Auditorium. I originally trained with Elisa Brabenec and Julie Rice in Traverse City, MI and Elda Soneral of Cadillac, MI. I continued at Western Michigan University where I studied with Sharon Garber, David Curwen, Eugene Mills, Jane Baas, Lindsey Thomas, and Nina Nelson. I continued my studies with master teachers including, Martine van Hamel of ABT, Charthel Arther of Grand Rapids Ballet and Joffery, Paul Sutherland, Cherie Noble and Paul Abrahamson of Chicago Ballet. The summer of 2014 I had the opportunity to attend a dance teaching seminar with Bruce Marks, Roni Mahler and Rhee Gold. In the summer of 2015, I attended a teacher's training seminar with physiotherapist, Lisa Howell.
I have studied ballet/pointe, jazz, tap, hip-hop, modern, musical theatre, swing and Pilates. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Dance from Western Michigan University in 1999, but have been teaching since 1985. I owned a music and dance school for 19 years in the Kalamazoo, Michigan and now teach in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. I also have taught dance in the public/charter schools through KRESA's Education for the Arts program.
My hobbies include enjoying dogs, experiencing new things, traveling, music, fitness and dancing. I have traveled to many places, including Russia, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France, England, Germany, Finland, Mexico, Canada, Barbados, Puerto Rico, and the British Virgin Islands. In May 2016, I was able to visit Indianapolis, Indiana, parts of Ohio, West Virginia, Washinton DC and Maryland. I am a mother of 2 grown children.
Welcome and I look forward to sharing the joy of dance with you!!
