"We had an absolutely amazing experience with our wedding dance lessons. Liza & Mark are phenomenal - both incredibly talented, with dance styles and personalities that complemented each other perfectly. Together they created a fun, supportive, and truly personalized experience for us. Every session involved live choreography tailored specifically to us, blending multiple dance styles in a way that felt thoughtful, seamless, and uniquely "us". We came in with zero dance experience yet everyone who saw us dance was asking if we had danced before and were showering us with compliments. They were so easy to work with, endlessly patient, and made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We couldn't recommend them more highly. Our lessons have been our favorite part of preparing for the wedding because of Liza & Mark." -Estella & Matt
