Meet Luvabull Carissa

Hi, I'm 24 years old, I'm from Quincy, Illinois and went to the Illinois State University. I work as a Special Education Teacher and some nicknames of mine include Rissa, PC, C-dog, and Kish-ish

Dance experience

I have been dancing for over 18 years. I started studio dancing at the age of 5, with a concentration in jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, lyrical, and modern. In high school, I was a member of the Quincy Notre Dame Pom Pon Squad for 2 years and a member of the Quincy High Pom Pon squad for an additional 2 years, including captain my senior year.

In college, I was a member of the Illinois State University Dance Team, and was a captain my junior and senior year. I also danced for the Peoria Pirates Dance Team, a semi-professional arena football team. This is my third year as a Chicago Luvabull.
