Frequently asked questions

The process is different for the private lesson client then for the group class client as there is more time face to face with a private client.

With the private client we have an intro private lesson that is discounted so that we can both assess and get the client started in a program that will help them achieve their goals. 

With the group class client we try to keep an eye out for students that either need a little extra help or a little attention to keep them more engaged because it is very easy for them.  We try to maintain this for the duration of the progressive  series.

There are many of us on staff so the education level varies.  We have ballroom dancers that have 30 plus years of teaching experience along with classically trained dancers with 15 years of  Experience.  Everyone has an extensive background and we have regular staff trainings every week, along with visiting coaches, to keep us sharp and current.

our group classes are $15 per class but are run in a series so you sign up for 4/6/8 week series at the cost of $60/$90/$120 per person.  There is no discount for couples.  It is a per person cost.

the cost for private lessons is $35 for the intro (the price is the same for a couple or a single) and there are packages of lessons in groups of 5 after that.  The first package is $300 for 5 lessons, the second and thereafter is $350 for 5 lessons.  Unlike other schools we do not continue to charge more for more advanced figures.  We also do not require  a student to study a group of dances they are not interested in.  If you want to learn only salsa than that is what we will teach you.

I answered an ad in the paper 33 years ago.  It read “dance, party, travel and get paid for it”.   I was 19 and it sounded like fun.  Now the ad was quite misleading but here I am today dancing partying and leading groups for dance intensives in Argentina and soon to come Cuba.   So I guess it was true!

Everyone from professional dancers to people who have never danced.  My oldest student was 93 and my youngest 9years old.  We work with the APDA and have a Tango for Parkinsons patients class and have worked with autistic students as well.  We have choreographed for countless weddings, quinces and have danced in all the major venues in St Louos from the ballpark to Powell symphony hall.  We are currently working with channel 9 with their “summer dancing in the commons”

“Dancing in the Commons” with Channel 9 Network has been fun and has brought a lot of interest to communities coming together to enjoy dancing and the outdoors!

Ask questions, shop around, visit studios to get a feel for their ambiance and energy.

How does the studio work with the students?  Is there a flexible program that allows you to study only what you want or is it a school that requires you to study the basic 5 or 6 ballroom dances.  Does the studio charge more for more advanced lessons?  If you are fast learner can you study more advanced moves in your lessons without paying for more lessons (yes these studios exist). Does the teacher you have suit your needs?  You don’t need the best teacher in the studio, you need the need teacher for you.
