Q. Do I have to have a partner?
A. Absolutely not. Your instructor will act as your partner on your lessons and many partners are available at our activities.
Q. What should I wear?
A. The only rule about dress is to strive for comfort, so consider wearing loose clothing, smooth soled shoes (heels are optional), and please no tennis shoes. (Dark soles mark our floor.)
Q. How much do lessons cost?
A. You can get started dancing for as little as $15. As with any hobby or sport, there are many different levels of participation. Dancing can be relatively inexpensive. Of course, more serious dancers could invest as much as they choose.
Q. Do I have to sign a contract?
A. Our agreements will always spell out any purchases for both our protection and yours to avoid any misunderstandings. It is our policy to never charge a student for lessons they are not satisfied with and unused lessons can be refunded depending on the circumstances.
Q. How and when are lessons scheduled?
A. You may schedule lessons Monday through Friday from 10:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.
- Scheduling Lessons – We recommend that you schedule one lesson at a time, keeping your first handful of lessons close together, until you know and understand your basics. As you progress in your dancing the scheduling of your lessons will become more flexible.
- Cancellation Policy – When you schedule a lesson you are reserving a substantial block of time in your instructor’s day. We request that you give twenty-four hours notice to change or cancel an appointment.
- Further Learning – Upon the completion of the first three lessons, when you know and understand your basics, you will then have an opportunity to pick and choose the dances on which you would most like to work. Your instructor will put together a very small lesson guide designed to teach a handful of steps in each dance. This is called the Social Ease Lesson Guide, which is what will make you a good, clean, comfortable social dancer.
Q. Where can I go to practice what I have learned?
A. At National Dance Clubs we provide social activities such as Friday Night Dances and special couples activities.
