Maxwell Dance Teacher Spotlight – Malisa
Maxwell Dance Teacher Spotlight – Malisa. Did you know that we have a new teacher this season?? A huge welcome to Malisa! Malisa is our newest tumbling teacher. She started gymnastics at the age eight and quickly realized that she did NOT like the events that included running (Vault in particular). But, boy did she love flying! She switched to just tumbling when she was ten years old. She was on a show team where they were able to perform pre shows for the Jazz and more!
She has always loved moving fast! Cross country and tumbling and clogging were her favorite. When she is not doing those, she loves hiking and photography. Particularly together! Fun fact: when she was younger, she actually wanted to be a vet because she love animals. In addition to teaching tumbling, she is also a special education para educator. So cool!
There are four people in Malisa’s family and two kitties! Their names are Mufasa and Simba. She has two daughters and married her husband in 2024.
Something you may not know about Malisa: she had had four surgeries; two on her right foot and two on her left shoulder. She said, “I looovvvveee German chocolate cake!” Her obsession is Scotland, and she dreams of going there someday! She loves to read about Scotland’s history and can’t wait to see the beautiful mountains there.
