Shalisa was born and raised in Golden, Colorado where she grew up studying dance and musical theater. She has 23 years of dance experience and is trained in ballet (Pointe), jazz, modern, hip-hop and tap. She graduated with a BA in Sociology from the University of Colorado where she was a member of the CU Express Dance Team. After college, she had the opportunity to further her dance career and spent two years as a Denver Nuggets Dancer. Shalisa has continued to work with dance teams and choreograph routines, but something was always missing until she found Pure Barre. After taking her first class during teacher training, she knew it was meant to be and couldn't wait to take another! Not only has Pure Barre changed her body in ways she could have never imagined, it has opened her up to a community of amazing women and allowed her to change people's lives with every class! She has started a monthly donation based class to benefit SafeHouse Denver, a non-profit that helps victims of domestic violence, which has grown with each month. Shalisa can't wait to devote her life to the technique and to share her passion with as many people as possible!
