"Mrs. Lisa, thanks for teaching me dance and making it fun!" Julia age 9
Established August of 1995, our vision was to create a family of students that would receive the personal attention and professional training necessary to become confident and well versed performers in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Theater Arts.
The owner and founder of Dance Theatre Project Mrs. Lisa Cicalese and her staff see their dream realized when students perform in an original play at a professional theater. Each performer has an important role to support the story line.
" My father has sat through so many dance recitals. He is 76 years old, he really enjoyed the production." Mrs. Fritsche
"I had to mention how awesome the shows were. They seemed effortless. My friend even said it was like a Broadway Show." Mrs. DeFelice
"I really enjoyed the show. I was dreading going after having been to so many recitals, but I really enjoyed this one and I am looking forward to seeing it next year." Mr. S
"Your production was so amazing. It is so different, it's not a regular recital, it's a play. I Loved it." Mrs. Hamblin
