About Us

We are all about fitness, friendship, and fun!

At Dance Dayz Studio, located at the heart of La Mesa in Grossmont Center, we’ve been helping La Mesa stay stylish on the dance floor since opening our doors in September of 2018. Our instructors have experience in teaching and performing various styles of the performing arts. We have a passion for children and for helping everyone discover their inner dancer.
