Introduction: First I have learned to teach, I'm not just a good dancer. There are barriers to study, learning and competence and I know how to assist you through those barriers as they relate to dance. I specialize in break things down into small repetitious pieces so that you can become competent with them as quickly and easily as you are capable. My goal is to teach you toward attaining YOUR goals (and if you aren't sure what your dance goals are I can help you discover your options) for learning to dance, not morph your goals into what is better for me or someone else. Also -- IF I am not the best instructor to help you to your goals I will help you find the right instructor who will best help you. Peoples lives change when they learn to dance -- They don't get a better job, get paid more or have less stress but they find new friends and have a healthy hobby that relieves stress and enlarges their world in a social creative way. - Awkward men and women that aren't sure how to talk to the opposite sex - - People trying to meet others but avoid drinking and pick up joints - - Couples trying to find something to do to enliven their relationship - - Fiances not wanting to be goofy for their first dance - - People of every walk of life - find smiles, laughter and friends in dance

Beata is a wonderful dance instructor! Speaking from a beginner’s perspective, she will make you feel comfortable and guide you straight into your desired dance. We booked her for our wedding dance and even after 1 lesson felt significantly more confident.

My wife and I had our first lesson with Beata last week and we walked (danced) away talking about how much fun it was. Since I am a mature senior (65+) with no dance experience I was concerned about my ability to pick up the steps; Beata immediately put me at ease and made the experience with introductory basics so enjoyable that I was ready to book for several months.

Beata is a fantastic teacher. In just a couple of sessions, my salsa dancing had already improved tremendously. She is very experienced, patient and fun to work with. Look forward to becoming a much better dancer working with her.

I booked Ms. Beata for my sister and her son who is getting married in March. They both just loved her. She went several steps beyond what was needed to make there experience a great one. I believe that the bride and groom are going to take a couple of lessons also along with father of the bride. She is great. Easy to work with great communication skills.

Beata is wonderful!! My fiancé and I have wanted to learn to dance for years. We are finally doing it for our wedding. We came in without a clue, and after just one lesson we left with solid foundation to build on. I thought I would be nervous or uncomfortable but she makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. Can’t wait to keep going!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All prices are based on a 55 minute hour lesson in a studio where I am scheduled. First 2 Private Lessons (discounted 20%) $60 for an hour Regular Private Lesson Rate $75 for an hour Wedding Private Lesson Rate $60 for an hour Regular 10 Private Lesson Block $650 Regular 5 Private Lesson Block $350 Average for Private Lesson at your Location $100 Group Lesson already Scheduled Average $10 per person per hour Group Lesson set up for your group vary from $100 - $300
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am available by phone to discuss goals before starting or I offer a free meet of about 20 minutes at a studio scheduled around my other lessons if needed to discuss goals and options. Then I offer a 20% discount on the first 2 lessons so that I can get an idea of your goals, how best to move toward them, your retention and challenges. After the first 2 lessons we decide,together, how best to proceed toward your goals. Sometimes it includes going out to social venues to get you comfortable with "real" social settings, or seeing the different environments and settings to help decide what direction to head with the dancing. Every student is different -- their goals, plans, desires related to dance are important and widely varied so every "process" is a bit different. But I do offer discounts on small blocks of lessons 10 or 5 when students know they need some consistent progress. Also Pay-as-you-go is fine. I have some students for 2 lessons and some students for years and everything in between.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I worked for a popular franchised dance studio for about 5 years when I started in 1980. Since then I have studied many styles and techniques with many champion and notable instructors. 3 years in the 90s when the Feather Awards (dance related Oscars) were active i was one of 3 nominees for Top Female Swing Instructor (at that time that was the dance circuit on which I was competing and teaching nationally).
