From an early age, founder Lisa believed dance had the power to build confidence, self-esteem, and opportunity. As a single mother at 17, she wanted her daughter to experience those same benefits but struggled to find affordable dance classes. After building a successful dance studio, she never forgot those challenges and created Project SMASH to help make dance, education, and fitness accessible to others facing similar obstacles.
