Getting to know your instructors: Liesa!

Welcome to a new J'Adore Dance project! I would love to introduce you to our instructors one at a time, and once you've "met" them all we will have a scavenger hunt to see who can remember the most about the wonderful staff we have at J'Adore Dance. First up is Liesa...

J’Adore Dance: What is your favorite color?
Liesa M: Pink

JD: What is your favorite "treat"?
LM: I love apples. The crunchier the better. I've been that way since I was a kid, my dad used to call me "apple monster" :) My unhealthy treat is mint-chocolate chip ice cream from Baskin Robbins.

JD: What are your favorite passtimes other than dance/dance-fitness/fitness?
LM: I golf in the summer. My husband's whole family are golfers, so we play with them a lot. I am also a total bookworm!

JD: If you had an unlimited budget, tell us about a dream vacation!
LM: I would spend months traveling around Europe. I'd really like to spend some time in wine country in both France and Italy and just really immerse myself in the different cultures there.

JD: What is your most embarrassing moment?
LM: I was doing a solo in a dance competition when I was 13 and I didn't land a jump properly and fell on my butt. I was mortified! But I kept dancing and finished my solo. The adjudicator was so impressed that I won both a gold medal and an scholarship award!

JD: What is playing on your ipod right now?
LM: Dierks Bentley

JD: What is the last book you read?
LM: "In Her Shoes" by Jennifer Weiner, one of my favorite authors

JD: Coke or Pepsi?
LM: Coke

JD: What is your favorite quote or saying?
LM: It's in latin, "Dum spiro, te amo" which means "While I breathe, I love you". No idea who it's from though.

JD: What is your natural hair color?
LM: Dark blonde/light brown. I actually haven't dyed my hair in almost 2 years!

JD: What is your least favorite household chore? Which one is your favorite?
LM: I hate washing dishes! I don't mind doing laundry.

JD: How many articles of Lululemon clothing do you own?
LM: I think 7. I know it's not much. I'm hoping Jess can hook us up with a discount at the west ed store so I can expand my collection lol!

JD: What is your favorite TV show and/or favorite movie?
LM: I am completely addicted to Glee right now. It's such a feel-good show, plus it really irritates my husband when I watch it :) I also love the movie the Holiday, it's one of my all time favorite chick flicks, without being too girly.

Watch for another instructor interview next week!
