FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Discounts are offered for packages that are paid up front. Travel over 25 miles incurs $15 extra per hour. Full price for one hour lesson - $85 Price for five one hour lessons - usually $425, get $50 off for a total of $375 Price for ten one hour lessons - usually $850, get $100 off for a total of $750
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
On the first lesson we will discuss what they would like to get out of their dancing. Do you want to be a good social dancer? Do you want to be a competitor? Are you getting married? When is the wedding, where is the venue, what size is the dance floor, what shoes and dress are you wearing? They begin to learn how to dance. After seeing how the student learns, I can then make an educated recommendation of how long I think it will take the student to achieve their goal!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
A degree in Dance from LCC/MSU. Certified through Fred Astaire Dance Studios, Inc. to teach Bronze and Silver levels of Ballroom and Latin Dance. Extensive training in lifts and Argentine Tango. Certified through Shape Up NYC as a Fitness Instructor. Yoga training in Ashtanga, Restorative, Iyengar, and Pilates techniques.
