Remember when you didn\u2019t need a partner to dance? Well, good news! You still don\u2019t!<\/p>

Did you know, 75% of our students don\u2019t have a partner when they start taking dance lessons.<\/p>

No kidding!!<\/p>

People often think that to learn ballroom dancing, they have to come in with a partner. It\u2019s not true.<\/p>

Of course you need a partner to dance with in social dancing, but your teacher becomes your partner.<\/p>

A lot of men and women think they can\u2019t come in to dance because they don\u2019t have a partner. The truth is, 75% of our students are here without a partner.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

They might be married and their spouse doesn\u2019t want to join them. Or perhaps they\u2019re not married, and they wanted to learn. Either way, three-quarters of our students come in unaccompanied.<\/p>

And you can too.<\/p>

It\u2019s a frustrating part of this business \u2013 and our society! \u2013 that people don\u2019t feel like they can do this themselves. Most students are nervous at the outset, walking into an unfamiliar environment. They don\u2019t want to be embarrassed, they don\u2019t want to fall on their face.<\/p>

We make it very simple, step by step (literally!), and we gradually build on.<\/p>

We encourage students at the beginning so they find out that they\u00a0can<\/strong>\u00a0learn how to dance.<\/p>

You see their confidence grow. I tell my dance teachers, \u201cEvery good dance lesson must be fun, it must be easy, it\u2019s got to have some kind of movement involved, some feeling of dance, and the last and most important is the student has to see their own progress. Fun, easy, and progress.\u201d<\/p>

When a student begins with us, we tell them there are three things to accomplish.<\/p>

First, to realize that they can learn how to dance, their teacher is the right teacher for them, and our studio is the right place for them.<\/p>

Very quickly, they start to gain confidence.<\/p>

It\u2019s common for beginning dance students to look down at their feet during the lesson. It\u2019s a funny thing, really, because we don\u2019t look at our feet while we walk!<\/p>

Once they begin looking up, they learn to trust their feet to move in the right direction, to take them where they need to go, and before you know it, they\u2019re thinking and feeling and enjoying.<\/p>

No nerves. Standing tall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
