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.
