Keeman W. says, "Olga has won major national and international professional rising star championships multiple times. She can blend science with art and has a very sharp eye on improving your dancing be it for social or competitions. She got me into the finals of the equivalent of a Pro/Am national final and won other major championships. During a national Pro/Am competition, I kept stepping on her dress which was made for her much teller professional partner. She took out scissors and cut 2" off the thousands of dollars ball gown. That is how dedicated and care she is to her students. We made it to the final after four rounds. Over the last 15 yrs I have seen Olga worked with students of all ages, genders, backgrounds and even professionals with amazing results. Give her a try and you will be glad you did." Read more

Your ballroom dance questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do ballroom dance lessons cost?

Ballroom dance lessons cost $50 to $200 per session for up to two people, offering personalized attention and faster progress. Group classes are more affordable, averaging $15 to $40 per person, and provide a social atmosphere for learning. Many studios offer introductory specials for new students, priced between $50 and $150, to help them get started.

For those preparing for a wedding, specialized packages can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,800 or more per couple, depending on the number of lessons and level of instruction. Additional options include practice parties for applying skills in a social setting, and monthly social memberships that often include unlimited group classes and parties. Online lessons have also become popular, with some free resources available and paid membership plans ranging up to $50 per month, providing a flexible and potentially more affordable option for learning.

What do I wear to ballroom dance lessons?

Choosing the right attire for ballroom dance lessons is essential for comfort and style. Women often wear elegant, flowy dresses that allow for freedom of movement and enhance visual appeal. Fitted tops paired with flared skirts are popular, and comfortable dance shoes are crucial for support and flexibility.

Men typically opt for fitted dress shirts and tailored trousers, sometimes adding a waistcoat or jacket for a polished look. It's best to avoid baggy clothing, as it can hinder movement. Proper dance shoes are essential for both men and women, as they differ significantly from regular footwear.

Where can I take ballroom dance lessons?

You can take ballroom dance lessons at various types of venues, including dance studios, community centers, and even online platforms. Many established dance studios offer a range of classes for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced dancers. Some studios feature experienced instructors who can tailor lessons to individual needs, making them suitable for couples preparing for weddings or individuals looking to enhance their dance skills.

In addition to traditional studios, some community centers and local organizations host ballroom dance classes, providing a more casual environment. Online platforms have also become popular, offering virtual lessons that allow you to learn from home at your own pace. Whether you prefer in-person instruction or online learning, there are numerous options available to suit your schedule and preferences.

What ages can take ballroom dance lessons?

Ballroom dance lessons are accessible to individuals of all ages, making it a versatile activity for families and communities. Children can start as young as 3 or 4 years old, which is considered an ideal age for developing coordination, balance, and social skills through dance. Many studios offer classes specifically designed for younger children, often categorized as "junior" classes for ages 6 to 18. These classes not only teach the fundamentals of various ballroom styles but also promote teamwork and gender equality by encouraging interaction with partners of the opposite gender.

For adults, there is no upper age limit to begin ballroom dancing. Classes cater to a wide range of age groups, from young adults in their twenties to seniors in their nineties. Many studios host social dance events that attract diverse age demographics, fostering a welcoming environment for everyone. Whether it's a couple preparing for their wedding or seniors looking to rekindle their love for dance, ballroom dancing serves as an enjoyable way to stay active and socially engaged throughout life.

How do I choose a ballroom dance class?

Choosing the right ballroom dance class can significantly enhance your learning experience and enjoyment. With various options available, it's essential to consider your goals, preferences, and the environment that best suits your needs:

  • Class type: Decide between private lessons for personalized attention or group classes for a social atmosphere.
  • Instructor qualifications: Look for certified instructors with experience in teaching the specific dance styles you’re interested in.
  • Class offerings: Ensure the studio provides a variety of classes that cater to different skill levels and dance styles.
  • Location and accessibility: Choose a studio that is conveniently located and easily accessible to encourage regular attendance.
  • Community and atmosphere: Consider the studio's vibe–a supportive and welcoming environment can enhance your learning experience.

What questions should I ask a ballroom dance studio?

When considering a ballroom dance studio, asking the right questions can help ensure you find the best fit:

  • What are the instructors' qualifications? Inquire about their experience, certifications, and teaching styles to ensure they meet your learning preferences.
  • What types of classes do you offer? Check for a variety of class levels and dance styles to match your interests.
  • What is the class size? Smaller classes often provide more personalized attention, while larger classes may offer a more social experience.
  • What are the studio's safety standards? Ask about safety measures in place, such as CPR certification for instructors and emergency protocols.
  • Are there performance opportunities? Find out if the studio hosts showcases or competitions, which can enhance your learning experience.
  • Do you offer trial classes or introductory packages? Ask if they have special deals for newcomers, such as discounted trial classes or packages that include multiple lessons at a reduced rate.

Our first dance class was amazing. Tibor was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. He tailored the lessons to our skill level and wedding vibe. We left feeling way more confident and excited about our first dance. Highly recommend for anybody who wants to learn from a great teacher or just feels too intimidated to get started!

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.

Vicki is very caring and conscientious about your workout. She individualizes it to your physical level and age. You get a workout but she knows how to keep you from injuries. Plus she has a great sense of humor so it is a fun session.

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!
