Our Story

From an early age, Lisa believed in the power of dance in growing a person’s confidence and self-esteem. At 17, she was a single mom who wanted her daughter to experience the gift dancing gave her. Yet, it was a struggle finding classes she could afford.

After finding success starting the School of Modern Art Salsa and Hip-hop (SMASH), she remembered those experiences and wanted to give back. She established Project SMASH, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to providing access to dance, fitness, and educational programs for those in need. With low to no-cost programs for the community, these people can have creative outlets that lead them to productive life choices.

Project SMASH also provides career opportunities through free instructor training & certification. To apply what the instructors learned, they are sent to local shelters, children homes, & rehabilitation centers. They are compensated for their time and gain work experience.

Project SMASH serves the communities of San Antonio, TX and Las Vegas, NV. Proceeds from Spring and Holiday showcases are given to Project SMASH to continue serving our communities.
