People have varying preferences when it comes to learning how to dance. There are people who are just starting to dance and want to learn the basics. Some people shy away from groups. Oftentimes, this is the reason why people invest in private dance lessons. Others have experience and have hit a plateau with group lessons. These people want the personalized attention to get to the next level.

Unlike group dance lessons, and with any dance level, private lessons provide a face-to-face setting where your instructor can focus only on you, your level, and the technique on how to properly execute the figures. This is important for newcomers not to create bad habits as well as the experienced dancer to grow to the next level.

Many shy away from the cost of private lessons, but dancers are likely to progress faster since all their lessons are tailored according to their skill level. This means that your instructor will be able to focus on your weaknesses and help you work on them properly. With this in mind, the time-cost benefit of group classes compared to more expensive private lessons evens out. In the end, the dancer taking private lessons becomes more skilled not only in level, but also has more confidence in their technique when dancing out in the real world.

When choosing a private lesson instructor, think about how a particular teacher makes you feel. You need one who makes you comfortable but still challenges you. Consider the teachers you already know and who already know you. They’ll have a good sense of your learning style and what you need.
