Private lessons are the best way to progress your dancing.  If the group classes are not at your preferred pace; the private lessons move at the pace of the student.  These lessons also allow you to choose any style, rather than being confined to the dances on the calendar.  The one-on-one attention you receive will grow your dancing and build your confidence.  Great for weddings, business trips, cruises and other dance functions.
