FAQ's

1. Do you offer drop-in classes.?

Only to beginners and during the summer months to accommodate those who would like to dance around their vacation time.

2.You don't offer the specific dance I want to learn in a class. What do I do?

Why not grab a few friends and schedule a private group class? Take for instance if a group of 6 people split the lesson fee equally, it would only come out to $17 per person! A great way to customize your lessons without having to wait around for a class! Email for a price quote for your group.

3. I am going to miss a class. Can it be made up?

Classes are paid by the month and not by how many classes you attend. Missed classes can be made up if you schedule and pay for a private lesson.

4. Can I take a class without committing to a whole month?

Yes. You can use the $15.00 drop-in fee per person. Learning to dance even a little bit is built in many layers. It is not advisable to be learning sporadically. You will loose too much foundation work in the process.

5. What is taught in the intermediate class?

The intermediate class is for those who would like to continue learning Bronze Level II and III.

6. What are practice parties / practice hours?

For the exception of some of the more formal events, most practice parties are fun, low cost, social events that allow you to practice what you have been learning in your class or private lesson. Dancers practice lead/follow/floorcraftt. Besides, they are a LOT of fun! Students get to interact socially with other dancers. Friendships are made. Most students find these events really enjoyable.

Practice hours are held on Tuesday evenings and Social success students get in free. Practice parties are held usually on a monthly basis during the school year.

7. What shoes do I wear to class?

I do not require that students purchase ballroom shoes for level I class, although, most people choose to purchase shoes anyway. Bronze II has a ballroom shoe requirement. Ballroom shoes help you advance in your dancing. Shoes can be purchased at Onstage dancewear on Eagle and Overland behind Outback Steakhouse. They have the best prices in town!

8. What do I wear to class?

Wearing something to move freely in is best to start. Most people think that we dress up to learn in class. Actually, the opposite is true. Dress comfortably for lessons, dress up for practice events!

9. Do I need a partner?

A partner is not required, but very helpful. Singles are more than welcome!

10. Do you rotate partners?

Rotating couples is the best way to learn to lead and follow correctly. But I will never force anyone to rotate.

11. Will I be asked to sign a long-term contract?

I charge on a cascading scale. Learning to dance well takes a great deal of time and commitment, no different than learning to play a piano or any other hobby or skill. So those who are more committed are rewarded with the cheaper rates of a contracted package. Causal students may choose to purchase their lessons with or without a contract. However,a contract will offer you very substantial savings. If you would just like to learn just a little bit, you are welcomed to purchase a quick package.

12. How long will it take me to learn to dance?

You will be dancing in small amounts after your first lesson.

After 4-6 months, you will probably be able to get around the floor socially. The longer you learn, the more you can add to your dancing. Children and teens learn much more rapidly than adults do. Getting them started young gives them the added edge of getting advanced material at a much younger age.

13. Do you offer competitions for your students?

Yes. We attend two competitions each year. Contact me if this is where you would like to take your dancing, and I will get the best pricing to you to get you going.

14. Private room?

Unlike most other studios where you have to share your floor time with other students and teachers, I am unique whereas all private lesson students get a completely private floor for your comfort.

If there is a question that you have that has not been addressed here, please feel free to email me with your questions. I will be thrilled to help you!
