Why private lessons?
Private lessons are ideal for:
- Accelerated learning -- especially if you have experience in other dance styles
- Fixing specific bad habits
- Getting a "dance check up"
- Improving the lead/follow connection
- Learning exercises you can work on that are specifically geared to you
- Dancing better with your regular partner -- because you can discover what quirks you have as a dance couple, and I can give you things to work on together.
- Preparing to compete -- I've judged a lot of competitions so I can also help you understand how to do better competitively.
- Social dancing better with everyone -- I can help you learn tricks for adapting to social dancing with a variety of partners, something that's been a priority for me from day one as a dancer.
- Making the dance work better for you -- In particular if you have injuries I can often help you optimize your dancing to reduce or eliminate pain.
Dance Styles
I teach private lessons in Lindy Hop, WCS, Balboa, Blues, Solo Jazz, Collegiate Shag, and acrobatics, including lifts, drops and Lindy Hop aerials. Obviously for acrobatics adequate space is required!
