Frequently Asked Questions

Certainly! You can absolutely take dance lessons even if you've never danced before. Experience is not required, and it's never too late to start learning.

Nope! You don’t need to have a dance partner to be able to take dance lessons .  I will be your dedicated dance partner and will guide you through each step of the learning process. 

For your ballroom dance lesson, wear attire that allows you to move comfortably and easily. Choose shoes that can slide smoothly on the dance floor. As we progress, I will provide you with specific recommendations on the ideal dance clothing and shoes for your lessons. 

A typical dance lesson usually lasts for 45 minutes. It's advisable to arrive a little early to settle in, stretch, and gear up for an enjoyable session.   As you progress in your dance journey, it is not uncommon to request a double lesson.

I instruct a variety of ballroom dance styles, including American Smooth, American Rhythm, International Latin, Salsa, Bachata, Hustle, West Coast Swing, and Argentine Tango. 

For beginners, I suggest starting with private lessons. In group classes, the learning process may be slower as there's one teacher for multiple students, limiting individual attention. Private lessons, on the other hand, focus solely on you, allowing for more personalized attention and faster progress, making the experience enjoyable and effective. 

Practice outside of your lessons is crucial for improvement. The frequency of practice depends on your personal commitment. The more you practice, the more you'll enhance your skills and progress towards perfection.

My teaching style is tailored to each student's unique needs and pace, ensuring a personalized learning experience. I focus on creating a supportive and motivating environment to help students feel comfortable and confident as they progress. Additionally, my passion for dance and commitment to helping students achieve their goals sets me apart from other instructors or studios. Many of my students have become "family".

While a 24-hour cancellation notice is preferred, I understand that unexpected situations can arise. I value dance as a stress reliever and believe in flexibility, so we can discuss and work out the details based on individual circumstances. 

No, I am an independent instructor, giving me the flexibility to teach at various studios. Although I'm not part of the Crystal Ballroom staff, I greatly appreciate their team and the wonderful studio space they provide.
