Success Stories with Liz Lira

"Liz is one of the kindest and good hearted people I met, and she is so down to earth that makes everyone feel very comfortable regardless of background or dance skills. She is an impressive dance instructor and her achievements in this field are world-class. She is an inspiration and true role model, and I am so fortunate to get to know her and participate in her dance classes at the Liz Lira Dance Academy. She brings class and elegance into her dance technique, and I immediately knew that her dance technique is exactly what I have been looking for all these years. I am so grateful that she created this opportunity for us to dance, especially the outdoor space following strict safety protocols. I am so excited to take more classes at the studio with Liz and other highly qualified instructors handpicked by Liz. Thank you!!!!" ~ Tatev S.

"Liz is an incredible dancer and is easily the best salsa teacher in LA.  I love the way she teaches the techniques (spins, basic steps, cross-body lead, posture, etc.) and styling.   In particular, her emphasis of partner connection is crucial for social dancing.  I have taken private lessons, group classes, and her teams previously for many years, and there are always more new moves and details to work on.  You will definitely learn a lot from Liz by taking her classes in a friendly and fun environment." ~ Benny N.

"Liz and her team are amazing, and it's a pleasure to study dance there. Incredibly welcoming & safe environment for beginners, and an infinite level of challenge for more experienced dancers. Really glad to be dancing here and can't recommend it enough.

It's been especially great to dance here during COVID -- Liz is doing everything outdoors, everyone is distant, has masks, temperature checks, etc. I've felt safe and comfortable learning here during the pandemic when there are so few options. LLDA was amazing before the pandemic, and it's doubly so during the pandemic when there's so few chances to dance!" ~ Andrew S.

"Liz Lira and her dance academy has literally transformed my life. Since coming in one day last year to try a beginners salsa class to doing her 8 week series and then auditioning for her team.  

Liz and her team treats you like family from the very first moment you walk in the door and helps you be the very best dancer you want to be. Whether you want to come take class once a week or a few times a week - she teaches technique so you keep getting better!

LLDA has given more more confidence, energy, and joy both on and off of the dance floor. I love Liz so much and will be grateful to her always." ~ Anya S.

"I'm glad Liz's studio is open during the quarantine - It's really helping me and probably many others stay in good spirits during this time.  Liz is a talented teacher who really cares about her students, and her super positive attitude makes the classes fun.  She also teaches body mechanics and exercises that many other teachers don't.  Classes are outdoors with distance and masks so everything is safe.  And since this is LA, it's important that the neighborhood is nice and parking is easy!" ~ Eric R.

"Where to start?

The instructors are not only talented at what they do... but they're also super duper caring.

The community that's been built at this studio is incredibly supportive, everyone is patient and there to have a great time.

And of course Liz!

She somehow always has a ginormous smile on her face every time she sees you.

When she teaches... she somehow can break every little detail and at the end you feel like a dance machine.
