Group Lessons

Group classes are ideally utilized to cultivate an understanding of various partners, enabling participants to adapt and effectively communicate with one another through turn combinations in alignment with the music's timing. Our instruction emphasizes the distinct roles of leads and followers, facilitating an understanding of each participant's responsibilities. This approach fosters creativity and connection, allowing individuals to comprehend their unique dance language.

02

Private Lessons

Private lessons provide an opportunity to thoroughly comprehend the intricate dynamics of lead and follow techniques, as well as the mastery of cues, gestures, timing, and musicality. Participants will develop an understanding of how to connect with their partners and navigate movement on the dance floor. Additionally, these sessions will focus on strategies for effectively addressing errors, enabling dancers to devise new movements in response to mistakes. This process includes fine-tuning all elements to ensure both leaders and followers can react and adapt to their partner's abilities through careful analysis.

03

You have successfully completed the group class and private lessons, and it is now time to advance to the next level: the performance class.

Following this period, you will transition to the performance team. The performance class will encompass choreography in Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, Mambo, Zouk, and Kizomba. Performances will occur at our monthly social events, as well as at various venues with live audiences.

First Wedding Dance Lessons Chicago | You Deserve The Best

Wedding Dance

First
dance

The first dance at weddings is a special moment for the bride and groom. Many couples take ballroom dance lessons to feel more confident on the dance floor. While some prefer to get through it quickly, others see it as an enjoyable performance. Popular styles include Rumba, Night Club 2 Step, Cha Cha, Swing, Foxtrot, Waltz, and Salsa. Private lessons offer personalized instruction, making the learning process more enjoyable and effective.

Mother Son Dance

In our dance studio, we have observed that some sons are enthusiastic about engaging in more than merely swaying during the mother-son dance, an event that mothers prepare for with great enthusiasm. Grooms, who are training for their wedding dances, often facilitate a smoother execution of the mother-son dance. At this stage, sons have typically developed a strong dance frame and enhanced confidence, which positively influences their posture and movements. With dedicated practice and consistency, individuals can achieve proficiency in ballroom dancing, irrespective of their initial pace.

Father Daughter Dance

Create memorable moments with a comfortable Father Daughter Dance! A little practice can make a big difference, keeping guests engaged instead of focusing on the bar bill. During our typical dance lessons, we capture special moments with photos to share with fathers and daughters. If dad lives far away, mom can take lessons beforehand, allowing him to practice with her when he visits. Wedding planning can be stressful, but our clients find joy in dance lessons, offering a fun break from the formalities. If you're looking for laughter and a special experience, consider the Father Daughter Dance!

“I began taking Dennis' beginner group salsa and bachata classes 3 weeks ago and I am already learning so much!! He does an excellent job at pushing us to be our best and teaching us to recover after we make mistakes (which is a big part of the process as beginners). It is a fun social atmosphere and a friendly, welcoming community of people. I look forward to going every week and I can't wait to keep learning in future sessions! I couldn't recommend him more! :)”
