Frequently Asked Dance Questions
Of course! Beginners are our specialty. We can't wait to meet you!
Students are required to complete all classes in the current level before moving on to the next level. Check your DF app to see your class progress and how many classes are left before you are ready to move on! To move on please talk to your teacher who needs to pass you off before your graduation. Everyone's progress is different. Don't rush it!
We recommend that students wear comfortable clothes that they can freely move in. Dance shoes with a leather sole are recommended. We advise against shoes with a rubber sole that will grip the floor.
We do sell dance shoes at the studio. Stop by during front desk hours.
All group lessons & private lessons are 50 minutes long.
Unfortunately it is hard to say how long it will take someone to learn how to dance. Everyone progresses at their own pace. On average it takes students a minimum of 2-3 months to become comfortable at the beginner level (newcomer). You have to try it to find out! If you want to learn more quickly, we recommend private lessons.
We take dance education seriously, so we strongly recommend switching partners. This helps you become a great leader or follower by trying out what you're learning with everyone in the class. However, you do have the option of requesting to stay with your partner if that is your preference. Simply tell the instructor at the beginning of class.
99% of our classes don't require any partner at all! We try to make sure numbers stay as even as possible, and we rotate partners in class frequently so no one is left without a partner for long. Dance is naturally a social skill, and we like to keep it that way!
Sign up for our unlimited week pass for new students and try any class at your level during the week, plus if we have it that week, attend the social! Easiest way to try all the classes and see what you like :)
We teach a wide range of dance styles from Salsa, Bachata, and Ballroom to West Coast Swing, Country Swing, Hip Hop and more!
It really depends on your goal. If you are here to socialize, have fun, and learn a few steps, then group lessons are perfect for you. If you have goals to be a great social dancer, performer, or competitor, private lessons are the way to go.
