Please call or text Liza directly at 619-861-6260, or email her at: info@dancewithliza.com to schedule a lesson. Check our hours page first, then let Liza know which days and time frames work best and she'll provide specific availability.
Yes! Check our prices page to see a list of packages. We are currently offering packages of 3, 4, 5, 8, or 10 private one hour lessons. We also offer packages of 4 group classes.
We recommend a minimum of 5 lessons to learn dance fundamentals and/or prepare for a wedding. It takes time to gain confidence on the dance floor, so allow time if possible.
You do not have to use the group classes consecutively. Yes we allow make-ups., but they must be used within the same calendar year. We recommend using your class credit within a few months because classes may change.
Wear comfortable clothes. Wear supportive shoes with a smooth sole. Leather soles are best, but worn out rubber works too. Shoes with new rubber soles that grip, stiff stilettos, and flip flops are not recommended. Leather bottom boots are fine.
Allow time to park at our North Park studio since we share our parking lot with other businesses. Try parking in the parking lot first. You are allowed to park there. You may park in any of the general guest spaces or the green dance studio space on the left side. You may also park in Dr. Chinn's spaces on the right weekdays after 6pm or on Sundays. You may also park in the red Title Boxing spaces on the right since their business has closed down. Avoid the blue Veterinary clinic spaces as they often stay open late. You can also park in the space in the alley adjacent to the studio wall near the dumpster. There's plenty of street parking 1 block away in front of Jefferson Elementary School located at 3770 Utah St, San Diego, CA 92104 next to the Kentucky Fried Chicken. There is also an affordable parking garage located a block away at 3829 29th St, San Diego, CA 92104. Parking at Dance Headquarters in Kearny Mesa is plentiful and easy.
Liza and Mark often teach lessons and classes together. They may need to teach individually depending on availability, but let us know if you have a particular preference.
We feel that everyone deserves the chance to dance and are willing to work with your budget on a case by case basis. For example, we offer discounts for students, seniors, military, first responders, teachers, and anyone else on a fixed and/or limited income. Inquire within.
Liza is both a dance instructor and a DJ and would be thrilled to chat with you about your upcoming event. Whether you want a DJ or just group line dance instruction, she's your gal! Contact her directly at (619) 861-6260 or email her at: info@dancewithliza.com or info@countrydjevents.com to check availability. Check out her DJ website for more information.
Out of courtesy to our instructors we ask that you give at least 8 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your lesson. Lessons that are cancelled or rescheduled without 8 hours notice will be charged the full amount of the lesson.
Usually. Liza and Mark always try to teach in a private space. That is what they prefer. However, sometimes, when it's especially busy, they many need to share space. Let us know your concerns and preferences if applicable.
Vernetta is the name of the previous owner of the studio in North Park. She retired in the spring of 2025 and Liza took over the lease. The Lion's Club, who owns the building, is selling the building to a condo developer. Liza is allowed to remain a tenant until the new owner gets their building permit. Then she will relocate to Dance Headquars in Kearny Mesa and/or Mind, Body, & Soul studio in Mission Valley. Learn more about the studio update on our blog.
