Please check our current hours on the hours page. We are currently booking 2 weeks out for evenings and weekends. Consider lessons on weekdays during the day if you are available. Once you've viewed our hours, reach out to ask about specific availability on the days you'd like.
Contact Liza directly by phone, email, or text to schedule a lesson. The contact info is on the homepage. We ask that students pay for their first lesson in advance when scheduling or at the first lesson. This payment may be applied towards the package of your choice if taking more lessons. We accept cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and credit cards.
Liza rents space at two dance studios: Vernetta's Dance Studio in North Park and Dance Headquarters in Kearny Mesa. Vernetta's is owned by Vernetta B. and Dance Headquarters is owned by Shawn T.
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.
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. I pay to use it and you are allowed to park there. You may park in any of the general guest spaces or the dance studio space on the left side. You may park in Dr. Chinn's spaces on the right weekdays after 6pm or on Sundays. I would avoid the Title Boxing and Vet clinic spaces as they sometimes stay open late. You can also park in the two spaces in the alley adjacent to the studio wall. Finally, 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. Parking at Dance Headquarters in Kearny Mesa is plentiful and easy. You can also park behind the building.
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.
Liza and Mark usually teach lessons and classes together. They may need to teach individually depending on availability, but let us know if you have a particular preference.
Yes! 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.
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. For group classes, they do not need to be taken consecutively. You can make up classes.
We recommend between 4-10 lessons to learn how to dance, prepare for a wedding, and or simply gain confidence on the dance floor. We offer several packages to help you achieve your dance goals and you can always add lessons later on.

Yes. I always teach in a private space. That is how I was trained and that is what I prefer. The only exception is that sometimes the Kearny Mesa studio gets busy on Sunday mornings and we may have to share if that happens.
