Wear what is comfortable. Most people dress "nicely casual." When first learning you don't need special shoes, however, dress shoes and high heels with leather soles have a tendency to stick much less to the floor than shoes with rubber soles but comfortable dance sneakers are ideal.

No, a dance partner is not required in order to attend/enjoy any of our classes. Of course learning to dance with a partner has it's advantages, but we are around 50/50 singles and couples... you'll be right at home in an atmosphere where you can meet other singles or couples. Remember, dancing is a "social" activity. Improve your life... learn to dance!

Now that's an impossible question to answer, however... That depends upon a number or factors, like: the number of dances you would like to learn; if you keep a consistent schedule with your lessons; and your individual strengths and weaknesses. The quickest way is just to come in and have fun... your lessons should not be stressful, they should be fun and relaxing... that's how you'll get further, quicker.question go to app settings and press "Manage Questions" button.

That depends upon your goals and your time frame. If you need wedding choreography, then a combination of both is definitely an advantage if you start early enough. If you wait until the last few weeks, then privates are the only way to go. With private lessons you will learn at your pace and get the advanced techniques sooner, since your teacher can take you from the point you are at each lesson. Group lessons serve as a great way to learn the basics without spending as much money in the private sessions, which can be used to fine-tune and polish. Group classes also give you a good introduction to dance styles you haven't tried yet. Most of our students use private lessons to work on the more technical aspects of the dancing that make them quality dancers, and then use group classes practice sessions to learn the basics. You should definitely try both, but start with private coaching if you feel really insecure at first. In such cases private coaching is ideal.

Basically, the 'Dance at Your Wedding Workshop' is only a one-time class for the few basics that all couples need. It avoids using that time from a more expensive private coaching session on each couples choreography. It’s structured to introduce couples to some elegant ways to enter and exist the dance floor before they start learning their actual choreography. Also, its a good opportunity to ask any questions you have regarding our packages, your goals, music choice, dance choreography etc. It's impossible to teach wedding choreographies in a group class because every couple has different music, ideas and different dance styles so those are done in 1-on-1 private coaching sessions that are scheduled individually by appointment. We encourage all our private lessons couples to attend at least one of those prior to their private lessons to get the best out of your package.

No, the 10 class cards for couples cannot be used for the Dance at Your Wedding workshop. This workshop is a special category and is priced differently.

The group class cards are only valid for regular weekly group classes and cannot be applied to workshops or private coaching sessions.
