Mandeville Ballroom
Dance Lesson Opportunities:
There are different types of lessons: group and private.
Group lessons are usually in a series of six classes or can be ongoing. They can cost up to $10 per class. They are good for getting your feet wet by learning steps and having the opportunity to dance with other people. **You do NOT need a partner in order to take group classes.** Instructors will have dancers switch partners throughout the class to be sure that everyone has a chance to dance with everyone else. **Dancing with multiple partners when learning is a great way to develop the fine skills of leading (gentlemen) and following (ladies).
Private lessons cost more per hour (up to $65 per couple), but can help to perfect techniques or learn steps at your own pace (faster or slower than a group class). Private lessons offer wedding couples a private area to learn a choreographed wedding dance routine, or a dance competitor a place to perfect steps that will wow the judges and crowd. Private lessons offer other benefits that group classes do not.
