Miss Lisa

With over 40 years of dedicated experience in the dance industry, Lisa MacDonald is one of Newfoundland’s most respected dance educators — a teacher, choreographer, and mentor who has shaped generations of dancers across St. John’s and beyond.

Lisa’s journey began at The Judy Knee Dance Studio, where she taught for 25 years. She then co-directed The Dance Academy for 15 years before opening LMac Dance Ltd. in September 2024. She has served as Atlantic Representative for Cecchetti Canada for a decade and holds memberships with the Dance Teachers of Newfoundland, the Canadian Cecchetti Society, and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD).
Her philosophy: dance is more than physical movement — it cultivates inner strength, discipline, and drive. Classes welcome all ages and all skill levels.
