Jessica and Andrew nailed their wedding dance in front of their loved ones at a destination wedding in Montana. Here is their testimonial: "Thank you again for helping Jess and I through our first dance over the last few weeks and months. The Montana wedding was everything we hoped for and we were really happy to have a smaller format that favored quality time with our families. Thanks again for working with us, we are very happy with how everything turned out." The dance which was done to Forever After All by Luke Combs was choreographed by Liza Marians at Dance With Liza in San Diego. They took 5 one hour lessons and started 2 months before their wedding. #weddingdancechoreography #weddingdances #weddingdance #weddingdancevideo #firstdance #firstdancevideo #foreverafterall #lukecombs #montana

Liza wins 3rd place in novice Jack & Jill west coast swing at Mountain Magic Dance Convention with partner Brenda Shatto. It’s been quite the west coast swing journey over the last few years that led to me making novice wcs Jack & Jill finals and placing for the first time (3rd). Thank you Brenda Shatto for being a great leader in finals. Thank you Sarah Vann Drake for seeing my potential and passing me in the preliminary round, and also for the excellent intensive workshop with Kyle at Mountain Magic Dance Convention. I’d also like to thank everyone who has helped me develop my west coast swing style and technique over the last few years: Mark Pablo Bella Viramontes Exenia Rocco Carrie Lucas Larisa Tingle Lisa Picard Demetre Souliotes Adam Sumilong & Chase Warford And all the teachers at The ESS Camp, especially Jordan Frisbee for moving me up to intermediate so I could challenge myself!

My first place novice Jack & Jill country two step win at Mountain Magic Dance Convention last weekend earned me enough points to move up to intermediate level in the country two step Jack & Jill! Thank you Angie Bryan for the great dances in the finals round! @countrytwosteptour #countrytwostep #americankids #dancecompetitions #twostep #maketwostepgreatagain

Liza Marians competes in a Jack & Jill competition at Jack & Jill O’Rama 2025. She had never dance with this leader before.

Courtney and Samir took 8 private one hour lessons at Dance With Liza to prepare for their first wedding dance. Neither of them had much dance experience but they worked hard and practice often, and danced beautifully! They started lessons 2.5 months before their wedding and spaced the lessons out approximately every week. #weddingdance #weddingdancechoreography #weddingdancevideo #afterglow
