Common Questions
The questions we hear most from new students.
How are your dance classes structured?expand_more
Most group classes run as four-week series so the technique sticks rather than being skimmed. Each season offers beginner and intermediate streams across the major dance categories, with private lessons available year-round.
Do I need a partner to take a dance class?expand_more
No. Group classes rotate partners during class so you lead or follow with everyone in the room. Coming with a partner is also welcome, and private lessons let couples train together.
Which dance class should I start with?expand_more
It depends on what you want. Cha Cha is the easiest entry into Latin. Slow Waltz is the most popular wedding first dance and the most forgiving Standard ballroom dance. LA Salsa is the most-recognised salsa style globally. If you're not sure, send us a message and we will help you pick.
Do you offer kids classes?expand_more
Yes. Our kids dance program covers age-segmented ballroom and Latin classes for school-age children and teens, with an optional path to the competitive team for older kids who want to take it further.
