Lisette Bustamante

Dance Instructor

Birthday: September 14

3 Phrases to Describe my Dance Background are: 

1. I started dance at 15, turned pro by 17 — performing with Usher, Madonna, Missy Elliott, Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake, and Janet Jackson.  

2. As a choreographer/director, I’ve created for Pink, Ricky Martin, JLo, and Britney Spears. I’ve worked in film, television and on stage and love sharing my knowledge with my students.  

3. With 20+ years as an educator, I’m on faculty for Artists Simply Human and Monsters of Hip Hop and now get to work here at Rhythm!

Rhythm Role: I’ll be teaching Hip Hop to Junior, Teen and Senior Edge as well as working on mindset with the teams.

Years Teaching at Rhythm: This will be my 3rd year and I’m so excited for the season.

Fun Fact: I went to culinary school in Los Angeles and I’m a very obsessed foodie. I’m also a podcast addict.

Favorite Rhythm Year-End Show: Rhythm Nation Barbie Dream Vacation was incredible!

When not at Rhythm, I am...at home hanging with my hubby: John and my kiddos Roen and Reya. I have a mentorship program, Activating The Artist, where I support dancers in strengthening their mindset and encouraging them to boldly go after their dreams. I spend a lot of time connecting with dancers. I also love playing in my garden!
