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.
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.

Quality ballet instruction. This is THE place to go for serious ballet students. I do like that the school teaches ballet variations for the advance students and prepare them for competitions e.g YAGP (Youth America Grand Prix). Some of the advance students started pre-ballet in this school (from the age of 3). My grand-daughter will be signing up once she turns 3. Front desk is friendly, warm and caring. Melina, the office manager knows my kids by name. My kids (ages 7 and 8) has been in this school for over 3 years now and I plan to keep them there. We have had good experience here thus far and I will not go anywhere else for ballet. Tuition rates are very affordable, they try to keep the class sizes to 12 max. There is contemporary, jazz, tap and pilates classes available as well as adult ballet. Ample parking, easy to get there from I-10.

Pari was such a great teacher for a pair of beginners. She has such a positive attitude and her encouragement made us feel more at ease even though we were pretty nervous at first. In two sessions we got enough basics for a wedding dance we're very happy with.

Having so much fun while learning, great camaraderie with the instructor and dancers, family atmosphere. Our instructor, Neni, is very kind, loving and very patient. Her passion in teaching and honing the skills of her students is truly admirable.

Kimberly is an amazing instructor! You could come to her at any experience level and she will customize something just for you even if you’re in a group class. She is highly knowledgeable and takes individual physical limitations into account. If you are new to dance, there is no one better to introduce you to proper technique. If you are a seasoned dancer looking to improve and grow in your art you can find new and exciting challenges in Kim’s classes or with private instruction. Highly recommended!!!
