How much experience do I need to take the lessons?
To start with our dance program, you need no experience at all. Our beginner lessons are crafted to walk people through the basics and give them a good foundation for the next levels.
I have taken lessons before. Which class/level should I take?
Check our syllabus and our level chart so you can have a better idea where you belong. If you are still not clear, ask Betto during one of our social dances and he will give you an informal evaluation and recommendation.
What should I wear?
If you are coming to our beginner classes please wear something casual and comfortable. We have a party soon after the class. For all our other classes you can wear casual, dance or fitness clothes as you prefer.
What type of shoes should I wear?
Just wear comfortable shoes at the beginning. There is no need to invest in dance shoes for levels 1 and 2. Once you get to levels 3 and beyond, we recommend you purchase ballroom shoes. Proper footwear will help you learning new techniques and skills with much ease.
What are private lessons?
Private instruction is a private hour-long class with the instructor. You may opt to take it with a dance partner, but it’s not necessary. The price of a private lesson varies from $50 to $100 depending on the instructor. To schedule a private, please check our Private Lessons Page.
