Truly 'world-class' in the world of Dance. Her current position as Director of Minnesota Dance Theater carrys on the tradition of her mother, the legendary Loyce Houlton. Lise's company brings the opportunity for young people to, at the very least, appreciate and express themselves in the Art of Dance, or may devote their lives to it. Her company also attracts some of the finest professionals around. My association with Lise (and her mother) has been many years behind the scenes as a Stagehand.

In only a few years, it will be 50 years that the 'Nutcracker' has graced the holiday season of Minneapolis.
