We're available for private lessons at our home studio in Ballard.

Private Lessons

After completing the basic, group lesson for a given dance style two or three times, students often ask how they can get more advanced instruction.  A very good option is a private lesson.  In a private lesson, the instructor has the luxury of focusing exclusively on you and will be able to refine your technique and give you exactly what you need to take your dancing to the next level.  More elaborate patterns can be mastered or if there is a particular move you've seen that you want to learn, it can be addressed.  Sometimes couples take a private lesson together to improve their dancing with one another or to prepare for a special event like a wedding or anniversary.  Last, but not least, private lessons are fun! Many of my favorite dance memories are of private lessons I have taken. 
 
Patti and I offer private lessons on Wednesday evenings in Ballard  and can arrange other times and locations on an individual basis.  The fee is $50. per hour for either Patti or I, or $75. for both of us together. We love teaching private lessons and getting to know our students better.  We think you will love them too.

Instructional Videos

Students often ask us if we have instructional videos so they can remember and practice what they've learned.  And now we do!  We have created complete video DVDs of our group classes for our students.  They range from 45 minutes to one hour.  Now you will be able to review and practice at home all the techniques and moves you learned in your classes. 

Just ask us about them in class.  Or you can email or call for more information.
