Private Lessons

Private lessons are a great way to advance your dancing really quickly. They are often used to catch up on class material, to prepare for big events (like a wedding), to work on specific technique or moves, or to take some big steps forward after being at the same level for a while. Privates can be arranged for a single student, a dance couple, or for several couples who would like to work together on the same things.

If you are interested in getting information about private lessons, please fill out the form below and we will answer your questions and/or match you up with a local instructor. (Just fill out whichever fields are appropriate.)
