How many lessons does it take?

Now that's an impossible question to answer, however... That depends upon a number or factors, like: the number of dances you would like to learn; if you keep a consistent schedule with your lessons; and your individual strengths and weaknesses. The quickest way is just to come in and have fun... your lessons should not be stressful, they should be fun and relaxing... that's how you'll get further, quicker.

Well, we don't like to pat our own backs (okay, yes we do)...

How much do dance lessons cost?

Your first private lesson is Only $20! After your introductory session, the price can vary depending on a number of factors, including the number of dances you want to learn and how good you want to be at those dances.

We understand that money is always an issue, so with every private lesson package we allow you to attend group classes Free-of-Charge. Also, our private lesson rates are based on the teacher's time, not the number of people, so for you couples, it's like getting a 2-for-1 deal!

During your introductory session, your instructor will sit down with you and recommend a plan that will best meet your dancing goals and answer any questions you might have.

What's the advantage of private lessons? Or group classes?

That depends upon your goals and your time frame. If you need wedding choreography, then privates are the only way to go. With private lessons you will learn at your pace and get the advanced techniques sooner, since your teacher can take you from the point you are at each lesson. Group lessons serve as a great way to polish up steps you learned in your private lessons, or also give you a good introduction to dance styles you haven't tried yet. Most of our students use private lessons to work on the more technical aspects of the dancing that make them quality dancers, and then use group classes practice sessions to supplement the things learned on the privates. You should try both.

What should I/we wear?

Wear what is comfortable. Most people dress "nicely casual." When first learning you don't need special shoes, however, dress shoes and high heels with leather soles have a tendency to stick much less to the floor than shoes with rubber soles.

Do I need a dance partner?

Of course learning to dance with a partner has it's advantages, but we are around 50/50 singles and couples... you'll be right at home in an atmosphere where you can meet other singles or couples. Remember, dancing is a "social" activity. Improve your life... learn to dance!
