  • How long will it take for me to learn how to dance?

    Everyone learns differently. It won't be overnight and it will take practice. So give yourself grace, and enjoy the ride. We see the average person able to partnership dance and social less than a month with consistent attendance! If you want to expedite the process, we recommend private lessons. This way we can focus directly on just you, and not a whole class.
