Do you want to learn another communication style with your partner?
You’ve come to the right page!
I am offering private dance lessons for individuals or couples interested in partner dancing.
Sharing my passion for dancing is a vocation for me so all skill levels from advanced to none at all are welcome in my classes.
- Find your rhythm and learn how to dance to the beat of the music
- Learn different dance techniques: salsa, bachata, footwork, chacha, freestyle, etc. Learn dance techniques and movement styles to improve your skills
- Learn a dance choreography to perform in a special event (wedding, birthdays, birthday present, company party)
- Prepare for social dancing in a party or for date night
- Learn the techniques of being a good ‘follower’ or ‘leader’ and proper etiquette in partner dancing
- Learn partner empathy and non-verbal communication in and through social dancing. These aspects of partner dancing have helped couples improve their relationship outside the dance floor as well!
- Learn to go past the technical aspects of dancing to enjoy the dance itself!
- Stay fit, improve your mind body coordination skills, increase your feel-good hormones by dancing!
The private dance lessons are customizable depending on your requirements and skills. Schedule is flexible as well. Small groups of couples (up to 3 pairs) who wish to learn for a special event or to learn together is also possible.
