Lisa Fowler
Lisa Fowler, Owner and Artistic Director, established Dancers Corner in 1998 after a 10 year teaching career in the Upstate. Living in the Greenville area for the majority of her life, and dance always being an enormous part of it, Lisa saw and felt the need for a studio that could provide much more than a fun activity for children to partake in after school. She envisioned a haven where young individuals could fall in love with dance... for life. A place where they could foster and grow that love for their art; a place where dance could be more than "something they do" but an irreplaceable force that would remain a part of their lives well beyond their years at Dancers Corner. She aspired to create a school where dancers would be provided with impeccable instruction in a supportive and uplifting environment and come away with the technical training, confidence, and discipline to take their dancing to the professional level, should they so choose. Should they not choose to pursue a career in dance, they would come away with a well rounded, professional dance education and a deep respect for their art form, all the while having "enjoyed the ride" and built enduring relationships. Over a decade later, Dancers Corner stands as that special place that Lisa imagined and as one of the premiere dance education facilities in the Upstate!
In addition to offering sound technical training in various styles of dance to all ages, Lisa is dedicated to instilling values, individuality, and a feeling of self-worth to her students. She is committed to providing a warm, stimulating, high energy environment where no child is left behind, in which their social, emotional, physical, intellectual and creative growth are enhanced. She is forever grateful to each one of her valued customers for providing Dancers Corner the opportunity to work with their children. Lisa feels incredibly blessed to be able to continue to say that "my job is my passion". Outside of her work at DC, she is a proud mother of 3 amazing boys, who like her DC dancers, inspire her to be at her best every day.
"Ms. Lisa's" impact on her students can best be described in their own words.
"Ms. Lisa was my very first dance teacher when I was only 3 years old, and because of her I fell completely in love with dance. All the opportunities and encouragement she has given me allows me to say that after 15 years I am even more in love with dancing than ever."

"Lisa was my first dance teacher at age 4, and I have called DC "home" for the past 16 years. Not only is she an exceptional teacher, but she has motivated me and supported me through all aspects of my life. It is remarkable to be a part of a studio that is so much more than a place to dance, that has such a giving, caring individual at the forefront. She makes DC a safe place for us, where we can always be ourselves,where our best friends are, and where she is always looking on with love. She provides us with countless opportunities and excellent training to keep us at our absolute best. If is was not for Lisa, and DC I would not have found my life's passion, and chosen to make dance my career path. She has never allowed me to believe that I couldn't do it, and I am beyond grateful for her."

"Ms. Lisa is more than a dance teacher to me. She is like family. I know that she will always be there to support me. She provides us with all of the best opportunities and experiences. Ms. Lisa is also a great role model. She has taught me more than just dance lessons, but important life lessons too that I will use beyond dance."Kara Nightingale

" Ms. Lisa is such an amazing mother, teacher, and friend who inspires me to do what I love to do everyday - dance. She has always taught us to go after our dreams, no matter what it takes. Ms. Lisa makes you feel like you are part of a family at Dancers Corner and not just another student at a dance studio. She has taught me to dance with my heart and soul rather than just my body, directing me on the right path to success for my future. She has made DC the home to us that it is today."

"Ms. Lisa has been such a blessing to me. She has provided a studio that has not only given me incredible training, but has given me an incredible family as well. She is encouraging, supportive, giving, and I could not ask for anything better. Being at Dancers Corner has changed my life forever and it would never ever be the place that it is without her!"
Melissa Becraft
"Ms. Lisa is an amazing, loving, and caring person! She always knows how to make us smile. She makes me feel like I’m at home when I’m with her. She makes me feel important and always is there to cheer me on. She is such an incredible role model to ALL of the dancers at DC and has made a ever lasting impact on my life. She has helped me grow as a person and as a dancer. I love her so much. She feels like a second mom!"
Taylor Arney
"Ms. Lisa is one of the most important influences in my life, and has been a role model to me for years. Always smiling, always there for us with a funny story to tell when we are upset, she believes in us always. When she walks into the studio to watch me dance, I feel a whole new energy inside me. She and DC have inspired me to keep dance in my future, and take my life as a dancer to the next level. She is one of the best people in the world!"
