Private Lesson FAQ
I’m a total beginner. Is a private lesson right for me?

Do I need a partner?
No. You can come solo or with a partner. Private lessons are designed to work well for both.
How many private lessons should I book?
It depends on your goal. Many students begin with 3 to 5 lessons to build a solid foundation, then continue weekly or bi-weekly if they want more progress.
Can private lessons help with a wedding first dance?
Absolutely. We regularly help couples prepare first dances and other wedding dance moments. Visit our wedding dance lessons page for more information.
What should I wear to a private dance lesson?
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in and shoes that feel secure. If you are preparing for a wedding dance, you can also bring shoes similar to what you plan to wear on the day.
