How It All Began...
“As a child growing up in Sacramento, I performed as a dancer, taught children dance, and was a summer camp counselor. After relocating to Los Angeles, I began attending Cal State Los Angeles as a Dance major. While in school I worked as a babysitter, instructor for 15 dance classes per week, performed as a children’s character at birthday parties, summer camp instructor, and performed as a dancer at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs.”
“After graduation I began to get more and more requests to teach and entertain at parties and events. After 20 years of performing and teaching I decided to follow my dream and start my own birthday party company. Lizzie’s Fancy Feet Parties has participated in many charity and celebrity parties/events in Los Angeles, and Sacramento Area. It was a dream come true to combine my love of dance, entertainment and children and turn it into a career.”
New Name. Same Spirit.
“Lizzie’s Fancy Feet Parties started with my love and passion for teaching and entertaining children and so it is only fitting that with my new venture that I take the name Fancy Feet with me. Lizzie’s Fancy Feet Parties did not bow out gracefully or get pushed to the back burner, oh no. We have simply put on an extra tutu, wear a bigger crown and don a new name: Fancy Feet Dance Academy and Parties. With Fancy Feet, you can always rest assured that you and your family will be in loving and capable hands.”
