Welcome Lee Stover to the Staff of RSD!

Lee Stover, originally from Adrian, Minnesota, graduated from Northwestern College in May 2010. He now resides in Sheldon where he is the Marketing Director for RISE Ministries and co-owner of a DJ entertainment service, Stovetop Productions.

Lee first began performing as a freshman for the Adrian High School show choir and eventually earned a leadership role as Dance Captain in 2004. He also participated in area musical theaters, gaining lead roles for five years in the shows Bye Bye Birdie, A Christmas Carol, The Music Man, High School Musical and Footloose from 2003-2008.

During his time at Northwestern, Lee participated in RUSH: A Student Dance Concert for three years, eventually co-choreographing the opening number of the show in 2009. He also participated in various talent shows and dance competitions on campus including, Airband (2 years), Ballyhoo, Dancing with the Profs (2 years) and Northwestern’s Best Dance Crew, choreographing them all.

Upon graduation from Northwestern, Lee auditioned for Disney World to be a street performer for parades and shows. After making it to the top 25 out of 300 participants, he was placed in the talent reserves.

In 2011 Lee was approached to participate as a professional in the “Dea-ncing with the Stars” fundraiser for Ivory Coast missionary, Dea Lieu. That event led to a guest-instructor role at Robin’s School of Dance in which Lee worked with 60 students in a hip-hop piece. 

“I had a great time working with Robin, Mel, Megan, and the students this past spring,” said Lee “I’m thankful for the opportunity to dance on a regular basis and teach. I am excited to be a part of this established, but growing studio!”
