Asked me about my day, and what I did for fun. She helped me to piece information together and always had a smile after I read aloud. > From Xander, 5 out of 5 > I was kind of nervous about it, but she was really nice.

We can do a zoom meeting, meet at lifetime (if you have a membership), or I can come over to your place. Whatever you feel most comfortable with. ### What should I bring to my first lesson? Just yourself 😊 ### Can I start as a complete beginner? Yes. I teach beginning and intermediate dance, so no experience is necessary! ### What ages do you teach? All ages. Dancing is for everyone, no matter your age. ### What happens during the first lesson? Introductions: I'll ask you what kind of music you like, if there's any moves/dances you want to learn. Warm-up: Dynamic stretching, balance work, callisthenics training Basic dance movements: Foundational steps, weight shifting, footwork and body coordination. Movement combinations: We'll combine a sequence of steps into a short, flowing dance routine, focusing on smooth transitions, coordination and moving in rhythm with the music. Creative expression: Exactly how it sounds, spending a few minutes either elaborating on the moves we just practiced, or creating your own moves. Cool-down. ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/index.md) - [About](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/about/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/services/index.md) - [Dance Classes](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/classes/index.md) - [Private Classes](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/private-classes/index.md) - [Lessons in Portland](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/areas/portland) - [Life Time, Portland](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/locations/life-time-portland) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/ashley-katz/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Ashley Katz sells Dance lessons on this site.
