Common Questions

It depends on what you want from your dancing. Everyone has different levels of natural ability and desire to learn. There are also considerations such as number of dances and desired level of accomplishment. Most people can dance to music within their first few lessons and feel relatively at ease in social situations within several months.

People of literally every occupation and age take dance lessons with or without a partner.

There are two types of instruction - private and group.

• Private Lessons offer personalized instruction for couples or singles. Students focus on the types of dances and skill level that fits their personal goals.
• Group Lessons offer greater economy and variety of people while covering the basics of several dances in a class setting.

Dance Easy uses an ala carte format for instruction. You pick and choose what works best for you. There are no contracts or lesson packages. You do not have to work on dances that are not of interest to you. Although some people prefer volume discounts, most people pay lesson-by-lesson or for one group series of four.

Most people use either type of instruction, private or group, as their primary method of learning. Many choose to combine both types in some form. Private lessons are 60 minutes, but can be 30-or-45-minutes. Groups are in a series of (4) 60-minute classes.

For example: A wedding couple may take the Dancing for Social Occasions class and take a few private lessons to work on the song they will dance to at their wedding. A single person may prefer private lessons and enroll in groups to meet more people and dance with others. Couples may be too busy to attend all the groups in a series, but do not want to pay hundreds of dollars for private lessons. They can take two, 30-minute private lessons in a month and accomplish as much or more than a group series.
