Liesl Cao
Liesl first came to Doherty Petri Lancaster by bringing her son, Rees, to lessons. After his teacher Esther kept inviting her to join the adult class, she gave it a try — and discovered she loved Irish dancing just as much as watching her son and the other dancers perform. Always eager to try new things, Liesl soon found herself saying “yes” again when the studio offered fiddle lessons. That spark turned into a true passion, and she has been playing for three years now. Whether dancing or fiddling, she loves the way music and movement bring people together. Today, she’s thrilled to share that joy with the lively crowd.
