The people behind the care
Meet Keith and Lisa
We have been married for 23 years and are parents to four boys. For decades, we have created places where people feel seen, supported and encouraged. Our work has moved from a dance studio to youth mentoring, wellness and community programs. The thread through it all is connection.
Lisa
Lisa is an award winning producer whose work brings together movement, wellness, storytelling and the arts. Her background spans creative communications, brand development, events and community engagement. She founded Movement 4 Life to support confidence, balance, creativity and self expression across generations. She has worked with children, adults, seniors and families, always caring about how people feel when they enter a room.
For 17 years, Lisa was Assistant Director and Co-Owner of Studio 10 Dance in San José. She helped build a thriving community while supporting students, families, staff, performances, partnerships and daily operations. Her leadership also reaches across youth programs, senior wellness, nonprofit outreach, food and beverage, fundraising and events. Through M4L Media and Events / BeCageFree Media, she helps organizations tell their stories with branding and digital content. She and Keith also own 559ToGo together, connecting community events with catering and food vendors.
Lisa believes people remember how you make them feel. She brings warmth, creativity and organization to each family conversation, from the first hello to the personal handoff at the end of care.
Keith
Keith's work starts with the person in front of him. For more than 30 years, he has taught dance and movement, coached performers and mentored young people as they find their footing. He founded Studio 10 Dance and directed it for 25 years, growing the studio to two campuses, with San José as the hub and a second location in Pleasanton, California. The studio welcomed thousands of students and presented more than 150 productions.
Students he taught and mentored include winners of the television show So You Think You Can Dance and performers who have toured with Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Prince, Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz and many more. Alumni have become award winning performers and choreographers, worked on major award shows including the Grammys, and graduated from The Juilliard School and other prestigious universities. Others carry that same confidence and creativity into careers and communities far beyond the stage.
Keith earned a Bachelor of Science in Dance with a Pre Physical Therapy emphasis from Kansas State University and taught at San José State University and Evergreen Valley College. Today his work also includes adult coaching, Tai Chi for Better Balance and senior mobility. He is also a co owner of 559ToGo with Lisa, bringing his experience in events, entertainment and community connection to their work with small businesses.
He meets a child learning to take part, an adult trying something new and a senior working on balance with the same steady attention. For Keith, the dance of life's journey is having someone in your corner and, when you can, becoming that person for someone else.
Artists Supporting Artists
Lisa and Keith support nonprofits, small businesses and fellow artists through events, mentorship, storytelling and community partnerships. They believe in creating opportunities for other artists and helping people share their work. Together, they also helped create and launch a dance program at the Center for Performing Arts Bonita Springs.
Their work has been featured multiple times in FitNation, which named them a “Power Couple,” as well as in Natural Awakenings and other media outlets highlighting the difference they make through the arts.
What We Bring to Your Family
Movement 4 Life brings our years of teaching, mentoring, arts and family leadership into a small care setting. Nourish, Create, Rest and Reconnect are choices we have practiced in our own lives and want to share with families. We want to build the kind of village where a child knows the people in their corner and a parent knows exactly who is welcoming them.
