Elisa began ballet at age three and later explored modern, jazz, and hip-hop. Growing up at Verdi Academy, she trained in all RAD levels from Pre-Primary to Advanced 1 and performed in over 30 recitals.

She started assisting in classes at eight and began teaching at eighteen. Elisa teaches Pre-Primary, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 ballet, assists in Advanced Foundation, and provides private lessons for dancers of all ages. Parents and students appreciate her kind, clear approach and her belief that children should be allowed to be children.

In addition to teaching, Elisa manages the studio’s Leadership Program and oversees branding and communications. She earned her RAD Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies (CBTS) and Registered Teacher Status (RTS) in 2024. Elisa is also a mother and values family and legacy. Just as her mother, Veronica, guides her in carrying the studio forward, she hopes to pass the torch to her daughter if she wishes to continue in dance.
