Lizzy Spann
Dancing since the age of seven, Lizzy Spann has trained across both solo and partner dance styles, developing a strong foundation in individual expression and connection. Her approach to training shifted in 2013 when she began competing in West Coast Swing, committing to deeper musical understanding and responsive partnership. This training session focuses on intentional growth — refining what makes your dancing unique while building control, clarity, and adaptability. Lizzy’s teaching style is playful yet precise, blending conceptual ideas with clear, accessible explanations that dancers can immediately apply.
Designed to spark curiosity and confidence, this class encourages dancers to explore, experiment, and take ownership of their training — leaving inspired to push their dancing beyond where it’s been before.

While competing at a high level, Lauren and Daniel prioritize the social aspect of the dance over the competitive circuit and aim to share the joys of the dance above all else. They are looking forward to sharing this weekend with you!
