F.A.Q.

Q. Do I need a partner?

A. No. You do not need a partner for any of the activities at the studio. In fact, you learn to dance faster if you have your own teacher.

Q. I have a hectic and variable schedule, when could I take my lesson?

A. Private lessons are by appointment only and are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Teacher availability ranges from very early in the morning until late at night.

Q. Do you offer groups?

A. Yes. Cost is $7.00 per person per class. No need to pre-register. Group classes are "pay as you go."

Ballroom Dance Classes

Mondays at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays at 6:45 p.m.

Note: Group classes are taught so that everyone in attendance will benefit from the experience. Group classes are NOT a substitute for a planned dance course. Group classes are great for socializing, for practicing the skills you are acquiring through lessons, and can serve as an introduction to many elements of dance. The only way to truly learn progressively is to be on a tailored dance course.

Q. How much are private lessons?

A. If you are not taking advantage of a package discount or an in-studio offer, then your lessons are $60.00. The cost is for a single person or a couple.

Q. How long are the lessons and groups?

A. Private lessons and group classes are 40 minutes each. Lessons and groups are scheduled every 45 minutes.

Q. What should I wear?

A. Clothing: Wear something comfortable to move in. Tight jeans are not conducive to good dancing. Most of our students are professionals and dress in what they wore to work. We want you to feel good in our school. As a general rule, the better you dress, the better you feel. Shoes: Please...no "street shoes" on the new floor. If you have ballroom dance shoes, those are best. If not, wear anything with a leather bottom like a nice dress shoe. Ladies should wear shoes with a low heel and ones that will stay on their feet. No tennis shoes or flip flops please. We do not recommend dancing in bare feet or socks.

Q. Do you offer competition courses?

A. Yes. However, a prerequisite to a competition program is proven committment to a social program.

Q. Do I have to sign any contracts when I sign up for lessons?

A. No.

Q. How long will it take to learn how to dance?

A. Programs are designed for taking on average 4-6 lessons per week. There are no short cuts in learning how to dance. Increasing your lessons per week speeds up muscular training and the learning process. Decreasing your amount of lessons lengthens it.

Anyone can show you how to "do" a step in 5 minutes. Result: You'll feel and look like a robot. It will take longer to learn how to lead your partner without pulling them around, to feel good in each other's arms, and to acquire the smoothness, grace, confidence, and techniques of a good social dancer.

Q. What other services does the studio offer?

A. Some services also available are coachings, workshops, choreography, etc.

Q. Do the two of you perform anywhere?

A. We have performed at various functions in the community including movie premieres, parades, fundraisers, car shows, and studio events.

Q. Do you host dinner dances or parties?

A. We have the Spotlight Ball in January, the Spring Semi-Formal in May, and many other studio parties throughout the year. We will also happily provide a list of recommended places for you to go and enjoy your dancing! We also host birthday parties and other specialty group celebrations. Please call for rates.
