Lisa DeMaio received her BA in dance from Columbia College in 2001, and from there went on to dance professionally with Zephyr Dance Company touring nationally until 2006, when she moved to Los Angeles and began her teaching career. While in LA, Lisa continued dancing and touring with Kairos dance company, and taught at the Redondo Beach School of Dance and Music. In 2007, Lisa became a certified personal trainer and began focusing her career on fitness as well as dance. She moved back to Chicago in 2008 where she began her career with All About Dance and Dance Forever. Her experience in the fitness industry has been a great compliment to her work in the Dance Forever program. In 2016, she worked with founder Jessica Goldman to rebrand and expand the adult program into what it is today! Lisa is currently working to open our second location in North Center where she will continue to teach and spread the love of dance to kids and adults. She is sure to give you a killer workout in every class, and definitely brings the party to the dance floor!
