Private Lessons

This package includes 5 private lessons.

Private lessons are the best way to learn how to dance. With individual, focused attention you are more likely to:

  • Learn more and at a faster rate
  • Avoid bad habits in dancing which can be difficult to correct later
  • Learn at your pace and learn what you want/need to learn

We offer private lessons, semi-private, group classes, and performances.
