Miss Lisa is the owner and operator of Dance Express & Tumbling. She is a Former St. Louis Rams Cheerleader. She has studied dance at Webster University, coached Competitive School Dance & Tumbling Teams along with directing and choreographing studio competitive dance for years. Lisa has over 26+years of local & Professional dance and acro experience. Lisa has owned and operated her own dance and tumbling/acro studio since the age of 25. She has performed in a variety of productions including West Side Story & Grease. Along with her teaching and performance skills, Miss Lisa has also won a variety of Choreography awards from Regional Competitions. She has 2 Master degrees, one in School Administration and Counseling as well as her Bachelor's in education. From Lisa....I am also the mother of four amazing kids- 3 boys, one girl. I started dancing and tumbling at the age of 5. My love for dance, acro and children pointed me in the direction of becoming a studio owner and instructor. Some of my former students have gone on to be college dance and cheer team members. I am very passionate and enthusiastic about children. I feel Dance and Acro should be fun, happy, safe, natural, a release for a child, and a place where they can simply be “them”. I am so excited to get back into a studio. After having Child 4, I took a few years off as we relocated. Now, ready to bust a move! Season 1 in Ste Genevieve has been beyond amazing! Bring on Season 2! Can't wait to see what the future has in store for us! |
AMELIA WIBBENMEYER
Hi, I’m Miss Amelia. I was born and raised in Ste. Genevieve on a farm, but grew up loving dance and gymnastics, along with animals. I was a gymnast for 12 years and dancer for 6. I was a cheerleader at Ste. Genevieve Middle School and High School for 6 years and after graduating was accepted to be a part of the Mineral Area College Cheerleading Squad. My husband, Andrew and I have two beautiful kiddos together. Reese is 9 and loves being outdoors and is very artistic. Ruby, who is 4, also loves being outdoors and is our sassy child.
I love working with kids and not only do I work with them at the studio, I also am a Title I aide at Ste. Genevieve Elementary School. I have missed dance and gymnastics so much the past few years, and when asked to join Dance Express, of course I said ‘Yes!’ Watching these kids learn and grow in their love for dance and gymnastics makes me so happy and ecstatic for them!! These children truly are AMAZING!
