Private Lessons 

"Really helped me understand dancing and its relation to the music." 

                 - Student, July 2002

We offer autonomous private and group lessons.

Private lessons are a great way for dancers to receive concentrated individual attention and feedback on areas they personally want to improve. Emphasis is usually on technique and partner connection. Instructors tailor each individual session to suit each dancer's needs. Some dancers like to schedule private lessons before taking a whole series of classes in order to brush up their basics or prepare for a higher level dance class (beginners moving into intermediate levels).

What else could you learn from a private lesson?  

Ideas on what you might want to do in your private lesson:

• Survival Skills (need to dance well for an occasion?)
• Lindy Styling
• Swingout Technique
• Partner Connection / Frame
