Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What group classes do you teach and when?
Most months I teach classes for four weeks on the same day each week at usually around 6pm and 7pm. Having said that, for the exact times and what classes are being taught check the calendar. If you have a suggestion for future classes let me know.
When will you be teaching _____ ?
If you don’t see the class you are looking for, it is likely it just hasn’t been
in demand for a while or there just isn’t enough hours to offer everything
ever single month. Please let us know if you would like to see a particular class and we will see about putting it on the calendar. If you have 8 persons wanting a particular class we will usually be able to register you in
advance and then make that offering available the next month. Please ask us about his option.
What ages do you teach?
Most of our students are adults of all ages. We are happy to instruct mature teenage children (young adults) as long as they are there to learn. And the Senior generation is of course welcome and probably has a thing or two to teach us!
How much are group classes?
Right now our classes are either $35 for the entire 4 weeks for a Single Person, or $65 for a partnership (couple).
Parks classes are generally $55 or $95 respectively for all 6 weeks.
Just want a sample of what we do? You may drop in on our Tuesday night classes at SouthSide at 6pm for only $10 per person for our Ballroom class.
For purposes of payment a partnership is any two people paying for the same class at the same time where one leads and one follows.
What if I take more than one class? How much then?
The price is the same. However, when you pre-pay for your lessons you can save on Groups, Privates and Shoes.
When you pre-pay $250 we will give your a free pair of shoes OR $300 credit towards your lessons, both Group and Private.
How much are private lessons?
Currently the rate for Private Lessons is $75 per lesson for up to one couple. Private Lesson availability is somewhat limited right now, but please feel free to inquire. A lesson is one 50 minute session.
Please note that you can take advantage of our pre-paid lessons (see above) to save on privates as well as groups!
Please inquire for groups of 3 or more, off-site lessons, or special requests. Also, if you have 8 or more people talk to us about scheduling a group class that meets your needs.
What should I wear?
Casual and comfortable is just fine. We ask only that you dress in respectable attire. We do rotate partners after all. The only real requirement for dancing is shoes. Athletic shoes are just fine, especially for your first lesson. You may find other shoes work better, but your first lesson will give you a feel for what will work best from your wardrobe. Please do not wear flip flops or sandals that do not stay on well. They will make it extremely hard to step correctly and therefore learn to dance. Water on the floor can damage Dance Shoes, so if it is raining or snowing we ask you bring a change of shoes.
What about dance shoes?
Yep they are very pretty and they will DEFINITELY make your dancing easier, better, and more enjoyable. However they are absolutely not required. If you are interested though, we would be more than happy to help you find the right pair for you. Check out our Dance Shoes Page.
