Are Private Dance Lessons for You?
What is a private dance lesson?
In a private lesson, it is just you (or you
and your dance partner) and the teacher, working together to improve
your dancing. It doesn't matter what level of dancer you are - a first
time beginner or a competitive dancer - direct one-on-one input from a
professional instructor can't be beat.
If you talk to accomplished dancers, you'll
learn that they have all taken private lessons along the way. Most
dancers who delayed taking privates wished they had done it sooner to
accelerate their learning process.
Although we pride ourselves on high
quality group dance classes which incorporate plenty of correct dance
technique, still, we recommend that all students take private AND group
classes, since each has its own advantages.
Advantages of private dance lessons

instructor

time

when you dance with your teacher
