One to One Lessons will help you learn more than you ever thought possible. First, we’ll teach you the basic elements, and we’ll show you how to do a few basic steps in your favorite dances.

• You’ll learn at your own pace
• Precise work on your individual styling of each dance
• Perfecting the new steps you learned in your group class

Excellent addition to private lessons, group lessons are designed to teach and improve your technique, and improving your basic lead & following skills by dancing with a variety of partners. Benefits include:

Absolutely. More than 80 % of our students are taking their lessons by themselves without a partner. Your teacher is your partner.

Our advice is to wear something comfortable. If you are just starting your lessons best way to come for your lessons is to imagine you’re going for a night out – dress nicely and not over the top. No gym clothes please. We also recommend avoiding wearing jeans and sneakers. Jeans restrict movement and sneakers are hard to turn on because of their rubber soil.

Ballroom dance shoes are mandatory for all children. They can be purchased at the studio.

Girls attire: any color ballroom practice dress. Leggings and tights are optional. Long hair should be pulled up in a ponytail. No jewelry or head pieces are allowed. 

Boys attire: dark pants and a tee shirt.
