## What will you be able to do after social dance lessons?

Walk into a wedding, gala, cruise ballroom or dinner-dance and **actually
dance** — not sway in place. Lessons build a usable repertoire: swing for
upbeat songs, rumba for slow ones, waltz and foxtrot for the classics, and the
floorcraft to move confidently among other couples.

## How are the lessons structured?

There is no fixed syllabus imposed on you. The instructor asks one question —
*where do you want to dance?* — and builds the program backwards from that
event: the music that will play there, the dances that fit it, and the amount
of time available before the date.

## Why private instead of a group ballroom class?

Group classes teach patterns; private lessons teach **you**. Connection, frame
and musicality — the things that make dancing feel effortless — only develop
when an experienced partner corrects them in real time.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which dances should I learn first for social events?

A practical starter set is swing (covers most upbeat music), rumba (covers slow songs) and a simple waltz or foxtrot. With those three you can dance to almost anything a band or DJ plays at a wedding or gala.

### Can I take social dance lessons without a partner?

Yes — the instructor partners with you during the lesson, which is actually the fastest way to learn to lead or follow correctly.

### How is this different from the wedding dance program?

The wedding program choreographs one specific dance to one song for your big day. Social dance lessons build a repertoire you can use at any event for the rest of your life. Many couples do both.
