What does Liisa consider important in dance classes?

Liisa values the physical ability, thoughtfulness and awareness of a dancer. She also appreciates strong technique, versatility and openness and attaches great importance to the young person's own creativity.
Her favourite styles are jazz dance mixed with street dance, as well as Broadway jazz and Estonian dance with a contemporary touch.

Liisa likes to quote Martha Graham: ’Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.’ She bases her training on this and loves everything dance-related.
