Joseph Stanley Carlisle

Fond memories of Joe teaching us to dance for our wedding. We attended many classes afterwards and a few events with Joe, too. Great smile and poise and we loved his stories!

With great appreciation, I thank Joe for making my dream of becoming a ballroom dancer come true. He once said to me, "Not everyone who dances has it right here", as he pointed to my heart, "but you do." Through his dedicated instruction, I became not only a ballroom dancer while attending his classes, but went on to train and become his assistant in many classes. Ultimately teaching my own classes. He opened up the world of "Ballroom Dance" to me that till this day have been some of the most...

Thank you Joe, for giving me the gift of Ballroom dance, for all the years of joy at the studio, and for all the stories you would tell me about your colorful life, for always protecting me, taking good care of me, and treating me as your own daughter over all these years, and for teaching me so much about this crazy life.
I met Joe when I was just a teenager, and consequently ran the studio by his side for many years thereafter... who knew he would change my whole life so drastically....

Carol and Family,
So sorry to see of Joe's passing. Dance lessons before older daughter's wedding were so enjoyable. May not see you at NE Delta for a while Carol, be safe. Rich and Connie Berryman

I remember Joe very well from the NH Highway Hotel. Some 40 years ago, he would cruise into my bar dressed to the nines, pound down a double-shot of Bitters, and do an exit stage left, leaving nothing behind save for a very generous tip; standard fare from Joe. A classy hit-and-run from one very polite and extremely dignified man. Dance in Peace, Joe

Heartfelt condolences to the Carlisle family
