Ms. Katz is patient, she waited without pushing, and she is really kind. 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.

I was kind of nervous about it, but she was really nice. She taught me a lot of good core exercises, flexibility, and body mechanics. Thumbs up!

Her lesson was a lot of fun! She cracked jokes to make me more comfortable before she taught me how to swing my hips.

Such a fun and positive experience. Ashley was enthusiastic and super patient with me. She made learning feel natural rather than intimidating. I especially loved how she encouraged finding my own style instead of only memorizing steps. She was so nice, her classes are a great way to improve your confidence!
Jennifer
I had such a great time learning to dance. What I appreciated most was how everything was explained step by step without making me feel rushed. We worked on keeping up with the beat, improving my footwork, and putting different moves together. I was surprised by how much I picked up in just one lesson! The whole experience was relaxed, encouraging, and a lot more fun than I expected.
Questions about private dance classes
Where do lessons take place?
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.
