Having a background of 27 years dancing in many styles of dance plus my passion for seeing you gain confidence through your dancing is what I am excited to offer clients. Dancing isn’t just about the dance steps itself but an opportunity to support ones mental and physical health. I have trained with many beautiful tap dancers including Eddie Strachan, Chloe Arnold, and more! I work with people who have little to no dancing experience all the way to advanced levels. Depending on your goals and needs we can figure something out. If you want to focus on your technique, create a dance, even perform, we can make it happen for you....

Nate R. says, "“Invigorating”! That’s one of the many ways to describe every dance lesson that I’ve had the pleasure to experience with Nicole Wooding as my instructor. I was relatively new to Swing dancing and completely new to Salsa when I began my lessons at Chassé & Sway. After my first ten lessons, coupled with practice sessions at home, I’m now able to lead my partner through a variety of turns and spins. And not only during studio sessions, but also with a complete sense of confidence while dancing to live music at public venues!! And I have Nicole, my inspirational instructor to thank for this new form of ‘release’ that feels like a gift! Due to her passion and appetite for this art form, Nicole’s energy is nothing shy of contagious! And before you know it, you’ll be eager to learn more after each session reaches its conclusion. And while some of the things that you attempt to perform won’t register right away, Nicole always has a trick up her sleeve to help you to transform a struggle with a step, or a turn, into a maneuver that will become second-nature to you! So if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to dance, trust someone who apparently does this will zeal every day; someone exactly like Nicole – a motivational instructor who has a great way of seasoning every lesson with an endless amount of patience, a bottomless supply of encouragement and the ability to bridge the gap between where you are now and the exhilarating platform that’s offered through the art of dancing!! Thank You, Nicole!!!" Read more

Your Dance Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much are dance classes?

Kids group dance lessons cost $60 to $200 per month, or $40 per week on average. Private dance lessons for adults cost $50 to $85 per hour, depending on the location, dance type, number of lessons, and session length.

Wedding dance lessons cost $50 to $150 per hour or $500 to $2,500 for a package of 10 to 20 classes.

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?

Private dance lessons are an excellent way to gain new skills in a low-stakes environment, but they may not be for everybody. Private lessons are worth it if you:

  • 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

How long are dance classes?

Most dance classes last 30 to 90 minutes and meet 1 to 5 times per week, depending on the dance type and age range. Dance classes for children tend to meet more often for shorter sessions because children tend to benefit more from frequent, consistent lessons. Casual adult lessons tend to meet fewer times per week but are usually longer.

How do I choose a dance teacher?

Start by browsing our dance instructors, then:

  • Get three or more free estimates to compare.
  • Examine reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Choose an experienced, reputable instructor.
  • Get a written estimate and timetable before the first lesson.
  • Follow a payment schedule instead of making a large payment up front.

After asking questions and verifying credentials, hire the best dance teacher in your area.

What questions should I ask dance instructors?

When looking for local dance companies, consider asking the following questions:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • Can you give me an estimate in writing?
  • Do you teach private lessons or group lessons only?
  • What dances do you specialize in?
  • What ages are you used to teaching?
  • Are your lessons entry-level or intermediate?
