Private Bachata Lesson in Chicago

A private lesson is booked on its own. It is not part of the $95 group session.

When a private helps

Privates are useful when you want focused attention on one problem. Two common reasons stand out.

  • Your timing keeps slipping and you want it fixed fast
  • You want to dance bachata to a specific wedding song

How it differs from group class

In a private there is no rotation and no set curriculum. The instructor works only on what you bring, at your pace.

Preparing for Your Private Session

To make the most of your private lesson, a little preparation helps. Think about what you want to achieve. Do you have a particular move you want to perfect? Is there a song you want to dance to? Do you struggle with turns or body movement? Having a clear goal helps your instructor tailor the lesson. You can even bring a short video of yourself dancing. This can give your instructor insight. It helps them identify areas for improvement quickly. Your honest self-assessment is valuable. The more information you provide, the more effective the lesson will be. You can text your goals to 717-PaSamba (717-727-2622) before your lesson. This allows your instructor to prepare as well.

Consider bringing a small notebook. You can jot down notes or patterns. This helps you remember what you learned. Reviewing these notes later reinforces the lesson. You might also want to record short clips of new steps. This is for your personal practice reference. Just ask your instructor if it's okay first. Dress comfortably for movement. Flat, flexible shoes are often best for Bachata. Avoid shoes that are too grippy. Bring water to stay hydrated. A positive and open attitude is also key. Be ready to learn and try new things. Private lessons offer a unique chance for growth. Make the most of this dedicated time. We are here to support your Bachata journey. Free parking is available at our Chicago location.
