Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: I have two
left feet, can I learn to dance?
A: Dancing is just walking to music. So, if you can walk and not too
deaf to here the music, you can certainly learn to dance.
Q: How long does it take to learn how to Dance?
A: Somewhere between five minutes and a lifetime. It all depends on how
much you want to learn and how well you want to do it. Most students can
learn enough in ten, one hour per week, dance lessons to be able to
dance the basics in at least two rhythms with reasonable comfort. To
learn to do the basics comfortably in all of the six most common
Ballroom rhythms, namely; Waltz, Social Foxtrot, Tango, Cha Cha, Rumba
and Jive, approximately 30 to 40 hours of instruction will most likely
be needed. Most students who enjoy dancing well, will continue their
dance instruction as an ongoing activity, sometimes for many years.
Learning to dance smoothly with good dance mechanics and technique
comfortably, while obtaining a large repertoire of dance figures, takes
dedication and time.
