• Private ballroom lessons are 45 minute sessions scheduled at your convenience with your instructor.
• This session is for you to learn what you personally need to know to be a better dancer and complete your goals. Sometimes it is a new pattern, practice sequence, or understanding a new technique to train your body.
• This is the fastest way to learn because your instructor can tailor the lesson to match how you learn and how you best retain new information.
• You can take these by yourself or with a partner, the cost remains the same.
• Private lessons can also be used for upcoming events like a wedding or cruise to help you prepare. We would focus on just the material you would be using, and give advice specific to what you might encounter.
• Choreography or coaching for talent shows, competitions or showcases are another good use of private lessons.
• There may be other lessons going on at the same time, they are called private because you have the instructors undivided attention on just you!

Ballroom Basics: No experience necessary. We will cover the following: The basic step in 4 0r 5 core social dances - Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Rumba & Swing.  How to find a beat in the music, and  determine which dance to do when music is playing socially.  Basic technique, styling, and partnership to look and feel like a good social dancer.

 Bronze I : Review of basic steps plus 2 or 3 new variations in each dance. Continued work on partnership, frame, and techniques.  Additional focus on musicality, body rhythm and styling to give each dance it's own specific characteristics. (Ballroom Basics class completion suggested)

• Group classes are one instructor teaching 4 to 20 students, the same material, at the same time.
• Usually men stand in one row, the ladies stand in another row facing them. (think red rover without the running, but all the fun)
• The instructor will demonstrate and teach the men their part of a pattern and repeat the step a few times in front of them to practice it with the men.  Then he/she will show and teach the ladies their part to compliment the man’s step, and practice it in front of them.  Finally the dancers pair up and practice the step together with music.

The next Basics Class will start September 24th

Tuesdays at 6:45
