Owner and Director of Ammara Dance

Lisa cannot remember a time when she did not dance. Starting at the age of 4, Lisa has been a student of dance, music and art. Her journey has taken her through the worlds of tap, ballet, jazz, various types of folk dance, theater, and music. Lisa has been involved in Middle Eastern dance for over 10 years, actively studying, teaching and performing. Beginning her studies with Venus, Lisa has expanded and continues to develop her dance knowledge and teaching skills through various forms of study with instructors both local and international. Lisa's passion for Middle Eastern dance and music is contageous, which makes her classes both entertaining and educational. Lisa is also a member of Ala Nar Middle Eastern Dance Troupe, performing and sharing the art of Middle Eastern Dance at private, corporate and high-profile events around BC and Canada. Lisa's most recent activities include an appearance on Slice TV's "Bulging Brides" as a guest instructor, and Ala Nar's Main Stage performance at the International Belly Dance Congress of Canada in Toronto.
