Interested in lessons with me?
Teaching well and dancing well are two different things.
I think the things i teach best are the things that i had to work on and investigate or discovered by chance. Among these are the mechanics of the dance, the technique to move, connecting with different partners and expressing the music through my body.
I am available for private and group lessons. I have several years of experience in both. I love teaching group lessons especially to beginners. To me teaching is passing on the treasures that my teachers have given to me with a bit of a twist of my own.
The cost is negotiable depending on the number and frequency of classes but the numbers below should give you some indication:
private lessons: $75/hour (one person or a couple) + venue hire (typically $10-20/hr depending on venue) preferably on a sunday.
I don't give a single lesson as i think it is frustrating for both the teacher and the student. However i offer a $165 package where we have two teaching sessions and a session for practice only. In the practice session I am present in the room with you, not actively teaching but watching and giving direction. Any of the three sessions may be the practice one depending on your level and my knowledge of your dancing.
group lessons: minimum of 4 couples $10/person/hour for a minimum of three sessions + venue hire
