Q - How much does it cost?

A - See the schedule at Dance Lessons

Q - Do I need special shoes?

A - While professional dance shoes are nice, they are not necessary. You need soles that do not grip the floor. Leather is preferred. Shoes need to have a back that hugs the heel. Rubber soles, flip flops and clogs will not work. For lessons, socks are fine.

Q - I have a special song. Can I dance to that?

A - Bring it with you on a CD, computer, or phone and if it has a distinctive beat that you can hear, we probably can find an appropriate dance for it.

Mon. - Sat. 11:am - 7:pm
Sunday eve. 7 - 9:pm

Q - How often should I attend class?

A - That depends on your schedule. Once or twice a week should be sufficient and give you time to practice on your own.

Q - How many lessons do I need?

A - That depends on your goals and how fast you learn. I will teach you as fast as you can absorb it. Do you want to learn a basic dance and choreography? ~ 4 hours. Do you want to learn several moves or a few dances so that you can command the floor? 6 to 10 hours.

Q - What if I need to reschedule a lesson?

A - Please call 24 hours ahead if possible.

Q - Is there any guarantee? What if this is not the right thing for me?

A - If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the introductory class in the first 15 min. you can walk away and pay nothing. All classes are pay as you go. There is no contract or obligation.
