Deanna Disipio

Since a young girl, I have loved to dance.  Whether it was dancing at the studio or in my home, I have always gravitated towards the upbeat tempos of tap, jazz and hip-hop.  In college, I found a passion for fitness, hitting the gym and enrolling in health and wellness courses.  Upon returning from college, I danced with Bay State Ballet in the Merrimack Valley for several years while still working out, incorporating yoga and spin.  

Eventually, I stepped into my first barre class and haven’t looked back.  Between the music, energy and almost immediate results I was instantly addicted.  There are so many aspects of a barre class that I love; the mind-body connection, the strength and definition it has given my body, and lastly the physical and mental confidence.  

The best thing about teaching barre is seeing the students enjoying class, getting stronger and giving that hour to themselves.  So happy and grateful to be teaching at LPY!
