Do I need a partner?
No. You can come on your own. In fact, you will learn more quickly by yourself as we tailor everything to you.
I'm a terrible dancer with two left feet. Can I still learn?
Definitely. Without question. I've met many adults who claimed to have two left feet and not one left my lessons without being able to dance at least a few steps. Those who continued often became the most committed dancers. Private lessons are the easiest way to start learning as I tailor everything to your learning style.
Do I need special shoes?
Not in the beginning. Anything that attaches firmly to your foot i.e. not flip flops is okay. Ideally your shoes would not have a rubber sole so you could turn more easily on the floor.
When do you teach? Can I have a different day/time each week?
I teach out of my own private space which means I have much more freedom that most teachers who have to rent halls. I teach most weekday mornings, afternoons and evenings with occasional weekends if a student cannot do other times. Your lesson schedule can change so it's conventient for you every week.
Do you teach group classes?
I offer group classes for small groups of friends who want to learn together. A 55 minute lesson for more than two people is £45. This can be scheduled whenever suits you.
Every month I arrange a night out with all my students to go out dancing together as a group. This often involves going to a group class (though I do not teach it) It's a low stress way to experience Bristol's dancing and nightlife scene.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel your lesson without any charge. Cancellations made under 24 hours will be charged at the rate of the lesson. Thank you so much for your understanding.
