What should I wear to my lesson?

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Shorts, yoga pants, sweats, comfy dance skirts, etc., will all work just fine. If you don’t have dance shoes, that’s alright, too!

What is a Private Lesson?

Private lessons consist of one student or one couple working with an instructor. These lessons provide the most benefit and ease for learning to dance as all material is catered to the student’s  individual learning abilities, goals, and desires. The standard length for a private lesson at Monarch Ballroom is 45 minutes.

What if I already know how to dance?

We teach all levels of dancers, from beginners to the competitive professional level. Our instructors emphasize on proper technique that will ensure progress in your skill level.

How long will it take to learn?

This varies depending on your goals, frequency of lessons, and practice. Most social dancers feel they have built a good foundation after 6 months. After getting a good foundation, you can expect the ability to analyze new steps and pick them up with more ease. Everyone has different learning abilities, so it may vary from person to person.
