What should I wear to a dance class?

Most dance classes are casual and focus more on comfort and form than style. What you wear to a dance class depends on the dance type:

Ballet and jazz require form-fitting clothes so your form and posture is visible.
Wear loose, comfortable clothes and shoes to contemporary or street classes.
Wear fitness or leisure clothes and tap shoes to tap dance lessons.
Wear casual clothes, smooth-soled shoes, or dresses to ballroom, tango, or salsa classes.

Are private dance lessons worth it?

Value privacy
Want to make progress quickly
Feel more comfortable one-on-one instead of in groups
Want direct feedback on technique
Need a class that conforms to your schedule

Alessia is a fantastic instructor with boundless energy who always manages to lift my spirits. She teaches a mix of dance styles and every class is a great cardio workout. I've been her student for several years and credit her with helping to keep me fit and motivated, even through the pandemic. Five stars! Highly recommend.

We recently had the privilege of taking our first dance lessons as a couple with an amazing dance instructor, and we were absolutely blown away by the experience! From the moment we stepped into the studio, we were greeted promptly on time with warmth and enthusiasm, setting the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable experience! What truly set Tibor apart was his exceptional teaching style. He broke down the dance moves into manageable steps, patiently guiding us through each one until we had mastered it, and he also had a great sense of humor! He was clear with his explanations, and his feedback helped us rapidly improve and gain confidence on the dance floor. My boyfriend and I had so much fun during our first dance class that we decided to book another class again. I would definitely recommend Tibor to our friends and family!

Mariia is extremely talented and knowledgeable in different dance styles. I can’t believe I am actually learning salsa. I never thought I could until I hired Mariia. She is by far the best instructor I’ve ever had and breaks down each move for me to understand. She’s truly a rockstar!

David is the most talented ballroom dancer I have ever met! He know's the ballroom like the back of his hand and is an absolutely phenomenal teacher! He taught my husband and I how to salsa and choreographed a whole routine for us to show off to all our friends in less than two weeks! I can't recommend David enough - he's passionate, talented and his patience with new and learners is very comforting. He also works with seasoned dancers and I have personally seen him take them to their next level. As a wedding planner myself, I send all of my couple's looking for first dance lessons to David and their first dance is absolutely magical! Call David now, you won't regret it!

Firstly, Kenwa has so much integrity. Second….she is an amazing teacher - the best - she’s incredibly smart and knowledgeable - and funny - and makes her classes so joyous! She teaches for all levels and really connects with the students one on one. As an event planner and yoga studio manager, I highly recommend Kenwa to teach or to lead an event. She puts her heart and soul into it and that comes through in the experience.
