Hi, I'm Lisa the creator of SMASH, VSF, & Project SMASH. Quick bio of me and my businesses without trying to toot my own horn. I basically somehow started something from nothing TWICE from Las Vegas to San Antonio with hard work ethics, loyalty, consistency, faith, and a few angels put in my path along the way including my husband, & turned it into what it is today. See, my whole like I've always been the underdog, noone really ever believed in me. Once a performer, entertainer, dancer in Las Vegas, maybe not necessarily the best or most fit one, but I've always had alot of heart, passion, skills, kindness, and did it all with a smile:) Nowadays I manage the studio more than I teach, but every instructor I hire have to "connect" with me and have a similar heart with good work ethics. We become close like family and call ourselves the SMASH family:) My Vision I made a reality was to offer Adult Non-Intimidating classes especially for women desiring more confidence, transformation and inspiration no matter what size they are. That's how the VSF class parties was born too(try one!:) My heart also goes out to kids. Myself once being a bullied kid for not knowing english who was shy and quiet, dance helped me with my confidence. So we provide a non-competitive positive outlet for kids ages 3-17 to express themselves and raise their self esteem through music and dance. Then the Outreach part of SMASH a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) called Project SMASH providing dance and fitness as a way to heal for shelters, children homes, rehabilitation centers. at-risk youth, and low income communities because I once a single teen mom understand the struggles. SMASH, VSF, & Project SMASH offers many classes, workshops and fundraisers to help with our causes and the SMASH kids perform twice a year where all proceeds are given back to the community so costs is never an issue, we figure it out for you when needed.
