We believe the best way to learn is by a combination of private lessons, group classes and practice dances. For those of you interested in competing, celebrity coaching lessons are a great way to increase your skill level.
A private lesson is 45 minutes of one on one instruction. This is the most effective way to further your dance education. We focus on dance steps, technique and styling. We teach all the social dances and employ the nationally recognized DVIDA syllabus for American Smooth and Rhythm as well as International Latin and Standard. You may take private lessons alone or with a partner.
Group classes and practice dances are free for 7 days on or after your private lesson.
We currently have three price levels of dance instructors. Staff, Senior and Principal. Visit our staff page for a description of each of the levels.
We’ve been very fortunate to have the following
