Joe Lishner
began dancing about 25 years ago as a hobby
and social activity. He has a broad knowledge of all forms of ballroom dancing,
but swing remains his favorite. Joe joined the studio as the accounts
coordinator after retiring as a postal clerk in Boston. He also assists teachers
with classes and helps students who come in for practice sessions when he acts
as a DJ. His enthusiasm for dance can be seen every time he enters the dance
floor.
