«My instructor at OUT to Dance is unfailingly upbeat, encouraging, and inspiring. You make even the most challenging steps fun to learn. I only wish I’d started taking these classes years ago, but I’m amazed by how far I’ve come in a few short months. No matter how tired I am when I come to dance class, I always leave feeling energized. Thank you for all you have taught me!» Suzanne W.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

«I absolutely love every minute of my time in the studio teaching people to dance. I have the greatest job in the world! My favorite part is showing the skeptics, the folks who are convinced they have two left feet, that they can dance and love it; all they needed was the right dance and the right teacher.

Cutting loose on the dance floor in the company of kindred spirits is one of the most energizing, healing, and affirming things you can do for yourself. Dancing is a proven stress-relieving action that can help heal and strengthen your body, mind and spirit. When you dance, you’re throwing a wild party of endorphins inside yourself. Come onto the dance floor in a bad mood, and leave happy. I see it every single day.»

As everyone says, Liz is a really wonderful teacher and a sweet and thoughtful person. My wife and I took a set of group lessons prior to our wedding earlier this year. We had a great time, picked up some key basics of moving well together, and got to know a few other pre-wedding couples who we’re still friendly with on social media. We definitely plan to take more classes in the future to develop our skills, and we recommend Out to Dance to gay and straight friends alike.

Liz is the best teacher ever! Highly recommend the private lesson package. My partner and I had no dance skills and wanted to not embarrass ourselves at our wedding. Lots of anxiety. She has a great way of putting you at ease, teaching you all the little things to make you feel confident, and most importantly, making it fun! She lets you drive the pace and what you want to learn. She taught us a simple first dance and also how to do the Mom/Son dance. You don’t have to learn choreography or anything. Just simple easy moves that make you look natural. Could not be happier with the experience!

This is «the place» for dance lessons in Boston. Liz Nania is amazing and I’d give her 6 stars if I could. My partner and I started taking lessons this winter, and with Liz’s help I’ve gone from avoiding the dance floor to looking forward to dance in just a few sessions. She is knowledgeable and patient, and focuses on what you are doing right before moving on to ideas to make you even better.
Her class is the perfect end/beginning to the work week, and it seems she also has a strange telekinetic ability to attract some of the nicest people I have ever met to her classes. :-) In addition, her rates are extremely affordable and she offers discounts for taking more than one class in a term.

Liz is a great dance teacher! My husband and I signed up for private dance lessons and we had a lot of fun while learning great moves for our first dance. Liz is passionate about what she does and has an awesome personality. Scheduling was easy, Liz is very flexible with her private dance lesson appointments.

My partner and I went to Liz to learn swing dancing steps for our wedding, and we took ten private lessons. I consider myself as someone with «two left feet,» but after these lessons I felt like a pro! I am still unable to believe how much I learned, and how confident I now feel on the dance floor. We were amazing at our wedding, and now we go out swing dancing together! We took a follow up group class with Liz for intermediate swing where we learned new steps and met lots of fun other people. We cannot say enough great things about Liz, for she is a wonderful dancer, a patient instructor, and her enthusiasm and joy light up the room. We would highly recommend Out to Dance, and we can’t wait to go back!

Several years ago, I took salsa classes from Out to Dance. Liz is a patient and fun teacher who has the chops to teach experienced people but is really nice to beginners (like me). This is a really nice «date» activity to do with your partner.

If there was a 6 Star option– Out to Dance would have it!
I have taken ALOT of dance lessons over the years– just about every style– and Liz has been the best teacher I have had the pleasure to learn from.
She is an elegant dancer, warm and encouraging instructor, and teaches with a sense of humor that engages everyone.

We went to Liz at the very last minute to try and polish up the first dance at our wedding and she fit us in for two lessons. Her approach to teaching dance was not intimidating in the least, and the last dance class I attended was tap dance when I was 8. After our lessons, we felt confident that we could perform our first dance in style; she taught us a few different moves that we could incorporate throughout the song as we liked. She has a great energy and worked wonders with our four left feet!

Loved it. Every couple should take dance lessons so their marriage can kick off with a dancing style. Liz is very professional and made both of us feel confident and comfortable. She has a way of finding your strengths and running with them. Thanks Liz!

My fiancé and I just completed our 6-week wedding prep classes. They were so fun! It was a little weird at first because the classes were held in Liz’s (the owner) house (in her finished studio in the basement), but once we got started it was good. The hour-long classes always flew by and left us wanting more. We have 3 private lessons scheduled in the couple weeks before our wedding and we’re really looking forward to seeing Liz again. She was always so warm and supportive and encouraging. The steps we learned were pretty basic so it was easy to learn and have fun. This is a great class for people — especially grooms — who really know nothing about dance and moving to music.

I’ve been taking a really fun bellydance class here. It’s a great place for those who want something laid back and unpretentious.
