This is Mrs. Misgalla's first year teaching at CASA. She is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her family includes her husband, David; daughter, Sydney; dog, Frankie; cat, Tilly; and Steve, an adult- bearded dragon. In her free time, Mrs. Misgalla enjoys traveling (especially the beach) and making chocolate chip cookies!
​
What brought you to CASA?
I grew up wanting to be Debbie Allen, especially her role as the dance teacher in Fame. I would have loved to attend a performing arts high school, so instead I get to work at one.
Where did you work and what was your role prior to coming to CASA?
I worked at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia for over 14 yrs prior to relocating to Central PA.
What is your favorite part of working at CASA?
I don’t know yet, we’ll have to wait and see.
What is your connection to the arts? How are you an artist?
I have danced ever since I was little at my mother's studio (which she still owns and teaches at today). I just love to move. I love all types of music! I love creating and taking an idea, picture, painting, moment or a piece of writing and seeing where that can grow. I love the process - some of the most beautiful messes emerge from that space.
​
What advice do you have for our students?
Don’t let anyone steal your joy! Remember there is only one you and that is enough! ​
