XLMPAA Private Studio- Address Will Be Texted Before You Appointment

New students sign a Studio Waiver at the Consultation and as soon as everyone shows we will introduce them and begin the class or lesson. 

In the Consultation, I will ask your dance goals and experience. I will show a videos of what we can do down the line. Together, we get you started in the right plan for you. If you are certified from a different teacher at a higher level, please bring the cerificate and we will start there.

I have 3 years of competitive ballroom dance training. I've been in dance teacher training since April 2021. I have 5 years of training in Salsa, 4 years of training in Ballet Folklorico. I did go to college off and on for dance and fine arts where I learned beginning ballet, jazz, modern dance and musical theater. My first few years in dance as a child were in Ballet, Tap and Hip Hop. I spent most of my dancing days in hip hop and  Funk. I do not have a favorite dance. I started in ballroom because I was fascinated with WDSF on YouTube. I teach from the NDCA and DVIDA syllabi. I have trained in WDC and WDO. I do have extensive knowledge in other syllabi. I watched every day and practiced by myself at home before I decided to take lessons. If that sounds familiar than you're in the right place. 

For virtual classes, the first class is $10/mo. For private lessons $75 for 1 person. For couples, it is $90. If you have a camera or a phone and tripod, I do allow you to take video as long as you do not post a whole lesson. I also give dance consultations to ensure you learn what you want to learn. If you are not sure where you need to start or who to turn to after a bad experience or where the best teachers are in the city for you specific needs, Consultations are $30. I do not get paid to advertise or promote anyone else. My recommendations are based on personal experience at different levels of dance.

I started dancing ballroom because I wanted to teach. I actually thought that being a student would give me the advantage to get the job. Unfortunately, that isn't the way it works in all studios. So, I decided to enter a teacher training course and go independent. My philosophy as a teacher is to support and help you exceed your own expectations.

I've worked with students from all over the world and mainly people who just want to learn social dancing and lose weight. If you are at a higher level of dance, I could definitely offer my knowledge of the dance scene in Sacramento and help you get the training you are looking for. Consultations are $30 for 1 hour to help place you in the right place for you and your goals.

I love all of the events. I often go to ballroom events for different studios and performances for dance teams just to observe and support. Competitions are probably my absolute favorite events. My Performance Teams last performance performs at all of the big events in Sacramento and some out of town. Some of the more exciting ones are the CA State Fair and the Salsa Festival. You can see where we will be performing or social events we will be going to as a group on the Competition and Events page at xlmpaa.com . 

I give dance consultations more specifically in Ballroom dance and Performing Arts for Kids. I will tell you what you need to ask and what you need to know. I'd love to help you along your way.

I would ask about their experience. How long they've been dancing is not the only thing you should be looking for and the questions you should ask depends really on your goals as a dancer. It also depends on your personal way of learning. There are different styles of teaching as well as different philosophies. I offer consultations so you don't have to waste a year with a teacher or a string of teachers that are not trained, qualified or willing to give you the experience you expect.
