Learn how to make the most out of your private classes ✨

Private dance lessons can be a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their dancing skills, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned dancer.

But how can you make the most of this valuable one-on-one time with a professional teacher?

Here are some essential tips to help you enjoy and maximize your private classes.

Why take private classes? 🤔

Private lessons provide personalized attention that group classes can't match. They allow you to:

Receive tailored corrections specific to your body and dancing style.
Repeat movements with the teacher until they are ingrained in your muscle memory.
Choose the areas or techniques you want to focus on.
Progress at your own learning pace.
Benefit from a teacher’s diagnostic eye, identifying aspects of your dance that need improvement.
Get real-time feedback and have all your questions answered instantly.

How many hours should I take? ⏰

There’s no one-size-fits-all formula when it comes to the length of private lessons. The key is to balance how much content you can absorb in one session. It’s important to gauge how much you can retain and respect your limits.

What type of private lesson is best? ✨

We recommend private classes with two students and two teachers.

In the choice of content we recommend a mix of general corrections in the first half and a development of your choice in the second half. Regarding the length of the lesson, 90 minutes is an ideal amount to get to know the process.

Who decides the content? 💭

You and your teacher(s) will collaborate to decide what areas to focus on. Whether you want to refine specific techniques or explore new techniques, the class can be adapted to your needs. If you’re not sure where to start, your teacher can help identify areas for growth based on fundamental dance principles.

Two teachers vs one teacher 🧑‍🏫

TWO TEACHERS

Having two teachers offers the advantage of multiple perspectives. While one teacher dances with you, the other can observe from the outside, picking up on details that might be missed otherwise.

ONE TEACHER

If budget is a concern, a single teacher can still deliver significant progress.

Private lessons: Alone or with a partner? 👨🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼

Taking a private lesson alone offers total focus on your individual needs, while taking it with a partner allows you to practice with someone familiar and share the cost. When you have two teachers and a partner, you can switch between dancing and observing, which provides a richer learning experience.

Final tips for getting the most out of your ✨ private lessons ✨

01

Ask questions

Be specific with your questions to get tailored feedback that accelerates your progress. For example, instead of asking "How do I do this move?" try "I’m struggling with the footwork in this move. Can you break it down for me?"

02

Stay open-minded

Be willing to try new things and receive feedback. A growth mindset will help you evolve as a dancer.

03

Practice patience

Mastering dance techniques takes time. Celebrate small wins, stay consistent, and focus on enjoying the journey rather than just the outcome.

Private dance lessons are a valuable investment in your dance journey. By preparing mentally, setting clear goals, and staying engaged, you can maximize this precious time with your teacher. Enjoy!
