Practice parties are also an important part of the learning process and genuinely add a lot of enjoyment to the experience. Some of the specific benefits of the practice parties include: The opportunity to interact and dance with other teachers and students. Our students are a diverse group and exceptionally friendly and helpful. You'll immediately feel at ease and enjoy spending time with our community. Learning how to skillfully navigate around other dancers on the floor. This is a must know skill when you go out dancing on your own. Dancing with a variety of partners will significantly improve your skills and make you comfortable dancing in any situation. Reinforcement of the skills you learn in your private and group lessons. This system has proven to be the most effective way to promote rapid learning and retention.

Group Lessons can be very effective when used to support private lessons. The types of activities we use group lessons for are: Focusing on techniques such as Cuban hip motion, posture, frame, rise and fall, etc. Teaching simple fun dances that we might dance at the Practice Parties. A general orientation for outside groups to the various dances we teach. Preparation for specific activities such as weddings.

Private Lessons are the mainstay of your learning process, because you have the undivided attention and effort of your instructor for the full 60 minute lesson.

We also specialize in wedding dances; music selection, and choreography – please see that page for details. Preparation for specific activities such as weddings.

The custom approach is used when individuals/couples come to us with a desire to learn specific dances. We will design a custom program that focuses on their areas of interest.

In the comprehensive approach a student follows our syllabus, which includes both steps and styling, using accepted American & International standards. There are bronze, silver, & gold medals in both American & International styles. Additionally, each of these medals encompasses a number of milestones that are achieved on your journey to full medal status. This is the path that most students choose and will lead to the most diverse and well rounded dancing ability.
