Waiting 10 or 14 days between lessons in the first month is a bit like filling a bathtub and then leaving the drain open overnight.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For that reason,<\/span><b> we recommend combining private lessons with group classes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, especially in the first few months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Private lessons give your instructor the space to work on your specific challenges.
