Do I need a partner?
Not at all. We teach both singles and couples. If you don’t come with a partner your
instructor will be your partner. At least half of our students take lessons without a partner.

What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move your arms and legs easily is best. For footwear, a leather-soled shoe will allow you to slide your feet on the dance floor. Sneakers and rubber-soled shoes tend to stick and stop your movement.

What dances will I learn when I begin?
That’s up to you. We recommend that beginners start with swing, cha cha, rumba, foxtrot, waltz, and tango. Learning these dances gives you an excellent foundation for all the other dances. However, if you don’t want some of these basic dances, we will teach you only what you want to learn.

What if I have never danced before? How difficult will I find it to learn?
Learning will not be difficult. We are experienced at teaching everyone from those with no dance background at all, to those who have had extensive previous training.

What is a practice party?
A practice party is a party for our students held every other Friday evening for the
purpose of trying out the new steps being learned on the lessons. It’s an opportunity to
meet other students and work on steps without the pressure of trying out new material
for the first time in a public place. At our parties we dim the lights, serve refreshments,
and have a great time. Students have the opportunity to dance socially with their
instructors and with other students.

What do the lessons cost?
That depends on how many lessons you decide to take. Everyone’s program is worked
out separately. We suggest you begin with our Special Introductory Package.
