Private instruction is tailored to your personal needs. Learning at your own pace is the optimum method of comprehension and that\u2019s what private instruction makes possible. One common misconception about private lessons is that they take place in seclusion. On the contrary, multiple private Lessons are often going on at the same time in our ballroom! We (and our Students) have found that learning in this environment gives everyone an advantage in real social dance settings. Private Lessons are by appointment only, and may be scheduled during the Dance Studio\u2019s business hours by calling them directly.<\/p>\n     \n    \n     \n    \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc_ac_box \">\n  <div class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger\">\n    \n        \n    <div class=\"ue_title\">What is a group class?<\/div>\n    \n    \n        <div class=\"ue_expand_spacing\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"ue_expand\">\n      <div class=\"ue_expand_inside\">\n      <span class=\"uc_dactive bbb ue_accordion_icon\" ><i class='fas fa-plus'><\/i><\/span>\n      <span class=\"uc_active bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-minus'><\/i><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        \n  <\/div>\n  <!-- end of heading -->\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"uc_content\" >\n          <p>Our group classes are designed to be taken in addition to private Lessons, and consist of several students learning from one Dance Instructor.

The most important thing is to wear something comfortable, which allows you to move easily. Of course, you\u2019ll also want to select comfortable shoes. We suggest leather-sole shoes for gentlemen, and a shoe with a back for ladies (similar to what you might wear to go out dancing). Athletic shoes do NOT work well on the ballroom floor because they stick, which will make it difficult to move your feet.<\/p>\n     \n    \n     \n    \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"uc_ac_box \">\n  <div class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger\">\n    \n        \n    <div class=\"ue_title\">Is it difficult to learn to dance?<\/div>\n    \n    \n        <div class=\"ue_expand_spacing\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"ue_expand\">\n      <div class=\"ue_expand_inside\">\n      <span class=\"uc_dactive bbb ue_accordion_icon\" ><i class='fas fa-plus'><\/i><\/span>\n      <span class=\"uc_active bbb ue_accordion_icon\"><i class='fas fa-minus'><\/i><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        \n  <\/div>\n  <!-- end of heading -->\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"uc_content\" >\n          <p>No, it\u2019s not!
