Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a partner for private lessons?
No—many of our students take lessons solo. Our instructors will dance with you and guide you through every step.
How many lessons do I need?
That depends on your goals. Some students take just a few to prepare for an event, while others continue long term to master multiple styles.
Are private lessons better than group classes?
Both are valuable! Private lessons give you focused attention and faster progress, while group classes are great for practicing with different partners and building community. Many of our students do both.
