Lisa Beagle

Lisa Beagle has been dancing since the age of three, trained locally throughout the Ohio Valley, at Kent State University and continues education through seminars and workshops. As a performer she held many titles to her name in dance and in pageant systems. Lisa opened her own studio “Lisa’s School of Dance” in 1987 instructed thousands of students until she closed in 2003 due to her time full time commitment to her Marketing Director position at Fort Steuben Mall.  She continued teaching on a part time basis at another local studio until she re-opened Lisa’s Dance Elite in 2009.

Lisa was competitor in the Miss Ohio system and was the local director and producer of the Miss Ohio Valley Scholarship Pageant for 14 years. This provided over $200,000 in scholarships and prizes to area young woman. In 2007 Lisa along with her daughter Brittney and their selected dance team were featured choreographers and performers for the state televised Miss Ohio, Miss America Pageant.

In 2009 Lisa re-opened her own studio as “Lisa’s Dance Elite” in Wintersville on a part time basis. Her daughter Brittney joined forces at the studio bringing a fresh new style in 2012. Lisa believes that dance helps all ages grow physically, emotionally, socially as well as builds self esteem, confidence and poise. Students learn teamwork, creativity, and develop their own sense of expression.
