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

I really enjoy taking fitness classes with Amy. I've taken a variety of classes lead by Amy throughout the last 6+ years; Aerial Fitness, Bungee, Reformer Pilates, Power Plate, Cirque, Circuit, and Core Align. I'm always impressed that each week she has a really well thought out plan for the class that changes & evolves and is customized to my skill level. I really appreciate that she encourages me to push harder at working out without putting too much pressure on me. I feel comfortable taking things at my pace when needed or asking for modifications if a workout is too hard at first. Amy responds really well to that and modifies her approach to work up to that level of difficulty. Amy keeps class fun and we always have good conversations and listen to great music! I highly recommend taking classes with her.
