PRIVATE LESSONS: Every dancer needs at some point to focus on his/her own issues. In our private classes we work intensely on foundations, rhythm and musicality, and connection with the partner. We design a program according to your own goals and requirements. $80 for one hour class.

Promotional packages:

4 LESSONS of 45 minutes each ($60 each, $240 paid in advance)

or 4 LESSONS of one hour each ($75 each, $300 paid in advance)

Studio rent is not included but if you come to our own studio in Lafayette we don’t charge studio rent. Private classes are usually at the same place of the group classes during the same day on an earlier hour.

NEW!!! GET A DVD OF YOUR PRIVATE CLASS when you take the class at our studio in Lafayette.

Lesson cancellation policy: If you need to cancel, it must be at least 24 hours before the lesson so it can be reschedule at no charge. If cancellation occurs later, the cancelled lesson must be paid in full. These prices don’t guarantee to have both Marcelo and Romina teaching the class. If you want to have both teachers in the class, please ask for it, the price may vary.

If you are coming for the first time to our class we strongly suggest you take the Fundamentals & technique class in addition to any other class you want to take (intermediate/advanced). It will help you, the other students attending the class and us, that you understand our principles and teaching language.

When you have made several of our beginner classes and want to go for the next level, we strongly recommend you to keep taking the beginner class in addition to our intermediate class. It will work as a review and warm-up class for you, and for us, it will help us to know where to continue with you at the next level class. Remember that you are in a group class and that we teach many other students. You have to help us to help you in our mutual goal of making you a good tango dancer.

Levels:

In any discipline the “fundamentals” make the difference. When you have mastered the fundamentals, then dancing becomes effortless and fun for you and your partner. How many classes are needed to become an intermediate dance student? There is no general answer to this question. It depends on many factors that include: dance background and experience, time dedicated to practice and review, and individual characteristics. It is very important that your instructor agrees with you when to attend a certain level of class.

Please have confidence and respect for your instructor’s knowledge and experience as to what level is appropriate for you. If you feel that the class you are attending is not helping you to improve your dance, please share this feeling with your instructors. Private classes are a good alternative.
