What we're About
& What you Should Know

As teachers, our job is to help guide students in reaching their goals as quickly as possible. To Dance comfortably and confidently is our first priority. Beyond that, accomplishing this also means approaching it with the same principles a trainer would with their clients. Certification & Registration with leading dance organizations is ideal for setting higher standards of teaching & business practices which is why we register with the NDCA and USISTD . Therefore the technique we apply has been tested for as long as those governing organizations have been around and are well suited to any level of dancer, from brand new to experienced. The Dance industry welcomes Engineers, athletes and the Analytical as much as the artist in mind. Better quality movement & mechanics along with efficient use of energy creates practical yet appealing movements across space with very little risk of injury. This allows any student to accomplish enjoyable, knowledgeable & satisfying outcomes!

Q & A

​​

  • Do I need to bring a partner?

    • No, you do not! It's pretty common for singles to come in and learn on their own, whether with the instructor on private lessons or with others in group classes. It can quickly become a hobby, even those with a partner at home that are not interested in the craft will come without their spouses. For the true dance hobbyist, we even recommend taking some private lessons without your usual partner.​

  • Learning for a special occasion; 

  • How many lessons do I need? How far in advance should I prepare?

    • ​This is hard to answer right off the bat because there are many factors that affect learning curves (i.e. expectations, experience, type of dance, ability to learn quickly, etc.). This is why most Ballroom studios will have an introductory or consultation lesson so that you and your instructor can evaluate roughly how many lessons it will take to achieve one's goal or expectations. That being said, it's best to come in as soon as possible to give yourself time to practice, learn and set expectations early on so you know about how long you will need to learn said dance(s). As an example we always recommend for wedding couples to allot at least a month or two in advance of the wedding for even the simplest of dances. Furthermore, coming in 6 months out or more for your first lesson or consultation to get a good idea of what it is you want is great even if you decide to wait until 2 months before the occasion to take more lessons.​

  • What kind of experience or background is expected?

    • None, experience is taken into account when teaching on our end, but all beginners and the interested are encouraged​ to try their hand at this unique social and healthy artform.

  • Private or Group classes?

    • Depends on a few factors, budget, goals (if any), comfort level and availability. In short; private lessons provide beyond what a Group class can offer. They give you one on one insight, experience and technique. It's also a great way to focus on your needs and dances that may not be offered in Group classes. No partner is needed either, and in some ways is more beneficial than dancing with another student since you will have the opportunity to learn more dancing with your teacher.

    • On the other hand, Group Classes offer a way to introduce yourself to new dances while on a budget. It's also a great way to learn how to dance socially since you will get the opportunity to dance with others as we do recommend rotating partners in group classes, beginner and intermediate. Lead & Follow skills will be fine tuned in your group classes and parties!

    • Final Note! Combining the two is the most proficient and cost effective way to learn since you will gain basic knowledge and skills from groups that you can carry on into your private lessons when learning more advanced technique and patterns.​

  • I'm just here to learn how to social Dance; Why do I need structure for my classes?

    • If you're new to dance, of any or most forms, it is not uncommon for people to come in expecting an easy process to learn how to dance at a social level in a short amount of time, especially if there isn't any aspirations beyond that. This is harder than what a TV show or YouTube channel gives it credit for, which is why we have professionally trained, licensed and registered professionals on staff so we can teach you with 100% confidence that anyone can do this with the right expectation. The structure of our lessons are there to give you the best opportunity to learn this at the most effective pace for you and your wallet, whether for purely socializing, or competing at a high level and anywhere in between. Trust us, the structure is effective in all mannerisms of dance as it would be in any physically demanding hobby or sport.
