PRIVATE LESSONS

Learn to dance 10 times faster with the help of a private instructor.

IBDC teaches from the ISTD Syllabus and the USISTD Syllabus.

 

International Style and American Style Ballroom dance steps are offered for instruction.

 

American Style Ballroom Dance steps for Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, Rumba, & East Coast Swing are the focus of beginning private lessons. Depending on the skill level of the student private instruction is also available for Mambo, Bolero and all International style dances. Programs will be developed to meet the specific needs and goals of each student which could range from social dance to dance competition.

THERE IS A 24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY.

 IF YOU FAIL TO GIVE 24 HOUR NOTICE YOU WILL BE CHARGED.

PLEASE BE COURTEOUS TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR.  THEY GET PAID BASED ON YOUR ATTENDANCE.  IF YOU ARE A NO SHOW THEY NOT ONLY DO NOT GET PAID, BUT YOU PREVENT THEM FROM FILLING THAT OPENING WITH SOMEONE WHO TRULY WANTS THAT SPOT.

  ALL LESSONS ARE GUARANTEED.  IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DID NOT GET THE INSTRUCTION YOU EXPECTED, THAT LESSON IS FREE, PROVIDED YOU MAKE YOUR COMPLAINT THE DAY OF YOUR LESSON.

  

Recommendations:

Practice makes perfect!  We recommend that you try to practice what you have learned before coming to your next lesson.  Practice will help you develop muscle memory and will make your private lessons more productive.  Practice is also great exercise and a lot of fun!!!!!

 

Dance shoes are not required but they are recommended.  Dance shoes will help improve your dancing by letting you feel the floor and providing the right balance and support for your feet.  And the soft sole does not hurt nearly as much if you step on someone!!!!
