Joan Condlin
Founder and Director
Prior to opening the Liverpool School of Dance studio in 1972, Joan Condlin taught dance in both Syracuse and Rochester, NY, and studied with Luigi, Jack Stanley, Danny Hoctor, and Joe Tremaine. Her fascination with dance began at the age of 3. Throughout her life she has appeared on many platforms including:
- Local television broadcasts
- Choreographer for local high school and theater productions
- Entertainment with USO
- Danced on stage in solos and in chorus lines
As a pupil under Al Gilbert, also known as the “Pied Piper of Dance”, Joan became fluent on the foundation of graduated levels of dance technique. Her knowledge of dance can be seen in many of her students, who've captured numerous awards at regional and national level competitions.
