Ms. Elise has been dancing for 18 years and has been teaching for 6 of those years! Ms. Elise has also choreographed several award winning solos for herself and has recently started choreographing award winning solos and group dances for other growing dancers at the Dance Studio of Union Parish. Her favorite thing about teaching dance is “showing our students how to be confident within their creative discipline.” Outside of DSUP, Ms. Elise is a junior majoring in kinesiology with a pre-PT concentration at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. After college, she plans on becoming a pediatric physical therapist by attending PT school. In her free time, she likes to play all sorts of instruments, visit with friends, and paint.
