Alisha Dommel
Owner and Director
Miss Alisha, a Lancaster County native, has been dancing for the last 30+ years. At an early age, she fell in love with the art of dance and performing. She continued dancing through college as a proud member of the Millersville Dance Team where she graduated with a BS in Business Management. While a member of the Millersville Dance Team, Alisha was fortunate enough to travel to Daytona Beach, Florida and compete in the NCA and NDA College Nationals. She continued sharing her love of dance with others as a dance instructor for about 6 years. During this time, she was given the opportunity to teach ballet, tap, jazz, and contemporary classes. She choreographed dance routines that competed at regional competitions where her routines qualified for nationals and received numerous awards. Alisha is very grateful for all of the dancers, past teachers and coaches, and studios that have become family during her dance career. Their passion, training, and expertise has provided her with a solid foundation and a heightened appreciation for dance. Now as a wife and mom, Alisha is excited to share her passion for dance and the knowledge she has gained over the years with dancers at her very own studio!
