Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to my first lesson?

We recommend wearing comfortable, unrestricting clothing and shoes with a smooth sole for turning. Avoid shoes with a heavy grip, excessively high heels, or shoes without an enclosed back as they can make it difficult to dance.

Do I need dance shoes?

Probably not for your first few lessons, but I highly recommend investing in a pair of ballroom dance shoes for comfort, support, and improved dancing ability. Regular shoes can damage the dance floor and impede your dancing. 

How long does it take to learn to dance?

It varies depending on an individual’s aptitude and dedication to practice. Generally, most students start to feel confident on the dance floor within 3-6 months of regular lessons and practice.

Do I need a partner?

Having a partner is not a requirement for taking ballroom dance lessons. My lessons are designed to accommodate individuals and couples, so everyone can enjoy learning and improving their dancing skills. Sometimes it is better to take individual classes. They can become personalized and allow for faster learning.

How does the New Student Introductory Special work?

We embark on a journey of self-discovery by exploring a variety of dance styles in the first lesson. And then we explore your goals and desires in the second lesson and create a personalized plan tailored to you on the third!

What about the First Dance Introductory Special?

We also explore different dance styles in the first lesson, but everything with the goal of crafting the perfect game plan to make your special day even more magical. And in the third lesson I will show you our plan for moving forward.

What about the Court/Wedding Party Initial Consult?

This is an initial consultation with the entire group present to teach some introductory material that will lay the foundation for our vision. Then we will set forth a game plan to make that vision come to life.

I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man--the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.
