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.
Lisa creates a unique environment for her students by blending a positive teaching style, challenging exercises & choreography with a strong focus on the artistry of dance. She gives positive feedback and has a genuine interest in her dancers. Each year, Dance Express performs a full story production that gives each student the opportunity to utilize their artistry by performing a character rather than simply "doing a dance." It gives parents the opportunity to see the strong improvements in their child by watching a fabulously entertaining, high quality performance!

"My biggest concern was being the shy kid in the class and not being able to make friends or excel as a dancer because of lack of confidence. This concern however never came true. I was still quieter my first couple of years, but I made some very close friends and I grew to become a soloist at the studio. The Dance Express environment was always so welcoming and fun that I eventually broke out of my shell and now have lifelong dance sisters."
