Christine B. says, "Lorry was very welcoming and intuned with the crowd. Lorry was very encouraging to those including myself that were unsure of how to paint. Lorry was patient and easy to follow with her simple prompts. I loved the basic set up and the greenery of the garden. I felt that I had everything I needed for my comfort. Space was small and intimate. I liked that it was not overcrowded. Though the address was not posted (I understood) Lorry was pleasant over the phone and emailed me the information promptly. I look forward to attending other events hosted by Lorry in the future." Read more

I have been playing flamenco guitar for over 40 years and know all the aspects of flamenco dance and flamenco cante accompaniment. When I arrived in NYC in 1974, it was to pursue a jazz guitar career. I did this for 6-7 years, including switching instruments to bass in order to work more often. I also played with many Salsa bands during the late 1970s. I came back to guitar and flamenco style a few years after my wife, dancer Aurora Reyes, had gotten into flamenco and studied in Spain on her own. I have been to Spain for extended trips during the 1980s, and have worked with many dance companies. We formed our own company Flamenco Latino in la

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?

I loved the personal attention I got from my DPRdance Lessons. I spent time one on one with an instructor who developed our lesson plans for my personal needs! At one point I wanted to bring friends in for a group lesson, and they set the class up for me no problem!
