Latin Soul Dance Studio

Q: How long will it take me to learn how to dance? A: Dancing is a continuous learning process and each individual learns at a different pace. Each person also has different goals in mind when they come to our studio. If you want to learn a few steps of a certain dance, one session of our group classes will get you on your feet. If you want to learn more than just a few steps and would like to feel even more comfortable dancing, a combination of private lessons, group classes, and party events will be the fastest way to learn. Q: Do you have children programs? A: We have summer programs for children and are looking into a year round class provided there is an interest. Q: What is the average age of your students? A: We have a variety of ages of dancers. Our students are anywhere from 10 through 85 years of age. It is never too early or late to start dancing and we think that you will feel comfortable here whatever age you are. Q: I am getting married, what should I do? A: We offer a package designed especially for people who are going to get married and want to look good out on the dance floor on that special day. In the Wedding Special Package, you will be able to experiment with three different learning styles: private lessons, group classes, and party events. In the package, you will get private lessons which will help you feel comfortable with your first dance. We are here to help you and we ensure that you will feel more confident about dancing on your wedding day. Q: What dances should I learn first? A: Swing and Salsa are the latest trend, however of the more traditional Ballroom dances you will want to learn Foxtrot, Rumba, Waltz, and perhaps Tango, and Cha-Cha. Q: What should I wear? A: You should wear something comfortable that allows you to move freely. More importantly you should wear a leather or suede soled shoe. Please do not wear rubber soled shoes. Rubber soles will stick to the floor making it harder for you to move. We have specially made Ballroom and Latin shoes with a suede sole for sale in our shoe salon. Feel free to come in and try on some dance shoes! Q: Should I take group classes or private lessons? A: It is best to do both, as our group lessons are designed to compliment your private lessons. If you are a beginner or new to our dance studio we recommend that you start with our beginners special. As individual learning styles differ our beginners classe is structured to introduce you to three different styles of learning: private lessons and/or group classes. You may then choose which method or methods are best for you. Q: What if I don't want to change partners? A: You don't have to change partners if you really don't want to. Just kindly let others know that you are not changing partners. If you decide not to change partners please keep in mind that we strongly suggest changing partners because it is a proven method of learning and improving at a faster rate than dancing with only one person. Q: Do I need a partner? A: No, our group classes and private lessons are designed for both singles and couples. In group classes, we rotate partners so that you can experience dancing with a variety of different people. By doing this you will learn faster than dancing with one person.
