Private, Group or Both?

teens-lessonAdult Group Classes
We teach a variety of group classes 5 days per week. Most classes progress throughout the month, building on material learned in previous weeks. New cycles typically begin at the start of the next month.  Although group classes are open to walk-ins, we are asking students to preregister so that we may monitor class sizes.

Group classes solidify step patterns, help develop balance, and improve the ability to lead and follow. Group classes are taught at the average learning rate of the group and are a great place to meet potential practice partners. We post all group lesson dates and times on our dance calendar, or you can call 203-748-2884 with scheduling questions. Each lesson is 45 minutes in length.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are the most effective method to learning quality lead and follow techniques for all dances. These progress at the individual’s rate of learning and give them dedicated time with instructors to understand how to move throughout dance. Private lesson students may choose to seek competition opportunities to showcase their hard work and dedication. All skill levels from the novice to advanced student can benefit from one-on-one instruction. It’s a fabulous way to improve your dancing! Individuals or couples may take private lessons. Lessons may be scheduled for either a 1/2 hour or 1 hour in length. Private lessons need to be scheduled in advance by calling us at 203-748-2884.

Private Group  & Wedding Lessons

We cater our dancing for groups of all kinds and sizes. Have a special occasion? We can create group interaction through a fun and social way to meet people. We offer private group lessons designed specifically for wedding couples, corporate events, social functions, and private groups.
