✨💃 THE STORY OF LMRI ACADEMY OF DANCE 💃✨

LMRI’s passion for dance began at just 3 years old, where her love for movement first came alive. From there, her journey grew across many styles including modern dance, hip hop, contemporary, acrobatics, and tap — shaping a lifelong dedication to the art of dance. 🌟

In 2009, she began teaching full time at the Karen Freeman Dance Studio, sharing her passion, knowledge, and love for dance with the next generation of dancers.

Then in 2015, a new chapter began when she was offered the opportunity to become Lead Principal and Owner, and LMRI Academy of Dance was born. 💫

Since then, the studio has continued to grow into something truly special — a space built on leadership, mentorship, and inspiration. We are proud to have a team of award-winning dance teachers who share the same vision and dedication. 🏆

Together, we strive to push boundaries, inspire excellence, and nurture discipline and confidence in every dancer — values that extend far beyond the studio and into everyday life. ❤️

This is more than a dance studio… it’s a family, a journey, and a legacy in motion. 🩰✨

Marisa Smith – LMRI Academy of Dance

Marisa is an accomplished choreographer and passionate dance educator who began her dance journey at just 4 years old. Trained in Modern, Ballet, Hip Hop, Tap, and Contemporary, she completed her Ballet examinations through the Royal Academy of Dance and her Modern examinations through the AIDT.
