Arianne & Ben

"I may be the first woman ever, whose HUSBAND was the one encouraging dance lessons. The first day we walked in we said, number one, we just want to have fun, and feel comfortable. We had 6 lessons with Liza, and maybe added one more towards the end to brush up on our steps. Our song was "For Once in My Life" by Stevie Wonder, so we danced a Cha Cha. We still remember all of the steps, and EVERYONE was so impressed. Liza was such a pleasure to work with and very down to earth which we loved. She taught my husband to let loose & have fun, as at the beginning he was needing to know what exact degree his feet should be at! Soon into the lessons, we were at ease and just enjoying ourselves. We had so much confidence come our wedding day."

"We were dancing to a Frank Sinatra song so we wanted to ensure that we looked good.....we didn't want it to look stiff and choreographed, but we wanted it to have a bit of panache!  She completely understood what we were looking for and helped us plan a dance that we loved.  Liza is creative, patient and understands how to help people with different learning styles.  I like to learn a dance based on what steps go with a certain part of the song, while my husband likes to have it based on numbers (6-count or 8-count, depending on the step).  Liza was able to do both so that we could look graceful in our Foxtrot.  We mastered the sway step, box step, numerous turns, and a fabulous finish with a dip.  The guests loved it!" 

I can't say enough positive things about working with Liza!!  My husband and I took dance lessons prior to our May wedding and it became one of our favorite weekly date nights! So much so that we added on extra lessons just because we enjoyed it! Liza met us where we were at (my husband did not have any dance experience) and made us feel so comfortable with creating a dance that really felt like ""us". Day one, she helped us narrow down our song and each week we built on the steps. If we didn't like something, she modified. If we wanted to add a particular show stopping feature, she helped us do it. In the end, we NAILED our dance and we could not have done it without the help and creativity of Liza. Also, she is just a kick ass individual and super fun to hang out with! 

"Liza is a bright light of positivity and energy! She helped me break through my fear of making a mistake on the dance floor, and ensured I found the confidence I needed to go beyond the steps and have fun with the dancing itself.  She's a natural teacher who loves what she does for a living which turns the awkwardness of learning something new into something fun."

“I was determined to do a “real” dance with my daughter at her wedding, and for a person with limited rhythm and no leading skills, I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to be able to learn to dance. You are a wonderful dance teacher! No doubt I would have been lost without your patience, understanding, and approach. In addition, you were great as a choreographer, putting together the steps and moves, tailored to our abilities and our chosen Father/Daughter song. I now have the confidence to get out on the dance floor, not just for this event, but with my wife, and know that I’m not going to look silly. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, as do my daughter and wife." 

"Being in my late 50's, I thought it was time to get rid of my fears of being on a dance floor. So, I decided ballroom dancing, why not?  From the beginning, Liza was so sincere, energetic and passionate about sharing her love for dancing.

After my first lesson, I couldn't wait to learn more! By the end of my 4th lesson, Liza had showed me the basics of the nightclub two-step, foxtrot, and swing, all of which left me asking myself "why didn't I try this years ago"!

Thank you Liza, I am forever truly grateful. I am so excited about my new passion for dancing, you're an amazing instructor with an infectious personality. Blessings to you and your family (sorry about your toe)."
