About Us!

The selection of the right dance school can start your child on the path to a lifetime of friendship, fitness, self-discovery and love of the arts. This journey requires a trained and experienced guide. Fortunately, Lisa Fristoe's Dance Express has been successfully leading Raleigh's young dancers on this journey since 1994.

Why Choose Dance Express?

 

Personalized Attention & “Family Feel”

 

At Dance Express the class sizes are small.  Each student is given individual attention.  This allows the teachers to get to know each student and recognize each student’s strengths and weaknesses so they can help them improve their skills. 

 

“My child came home and said that she learned more at Dance Express in two weeks than she learned at her former school in five years because Miss Lisa works with each student individually to improve their skills.” -   parent of two students

“We do a lot of fun stuff.  We go over a lot of moves. And if you don’t get it, Miss Lisa goes over it with you to make sure you get it right.” -  student

“This is my 7th year with you and I’m so excited to be here.  I have learned so much from you.” –  student

“You have taught me so much.  You taught me how to dance…you taught me how to dance well…Most importantly, I have learned from you to be myself.” –  student

               

Fabulous & Professional End of Year Performance

 

Each year we present a full story dance performance that includes professional sets, lighting and costumes.  This coupled with our creative choreography and diverse selection of music makes for a wonderful night of entertainment for all. Each student plays an important part in this performance.  Best for the parents; there are no tickets to buy, the dances are taught during class, the few rehearsals we have run on time and the show date and rehearsal times are set a year in advance. 

 

“You are an excellent dance teacher.  I've been to many plays, dance recitals, competitions before, and you really have the talent and the gift, I was very impressed.”  -  parent

 

“The show was wonderful. Your talent and creativity clearly inspire your students. We are very fortunate to have seen the production. Congratulations!” – audience member

 

“The show was FABULOUS!!!!!  I enjoyed every minute of it!” – parent

 

“Congratulations on another spectacular performance this year.  It gets better every year and the choreography more difficult.  Job well done!” –  parent

 

 

Dance Buddy Program

 

A new program that fosters friendship between our senior dancers and our youngest dancers.  Our young students are assigned a “buddy” from a more advanced class.  They meet during class a few times through the dance season for a special class filled with fun!

 

 

Value

 

The cost of our 9 month program is less than most area studios.  Also with our pricing plan you don’t pay for the weeks the studio is closed for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break!  We don’t charge for tickets for our performance – invite all your friends!

 

 

Family Friendly Calendar

 

We don’t start until after Labor Day, we end before EOG tests and final exams!
