What We Do
We love teaching, and we love helping others. That's why we chose this profession.
For us, there is no more satisfying feeling than helping someone improve, and knowing it happened through our guidance and support.
People choose Ballroom Dancing for different reasons: some love the competitive and athletic aspects, others enjoy the artistic expression and performing, while some do it purely for the physical and mental health benefits (see Benefits of Ballroom Dancing). Whatever the reason, every student of ours requires an individual approach.
This is why we don't believe in a "one size fits all" system.
Instead, we'll work with you to figure out the dance style (or styles) that YOU enjoy and that suits YOU best.
You will learn at YOUR own pace. You won’t need to memorize a thousand steps in a set number of lessons. And if you're a fast learner, we won’t hold you back!
If you want to compete, your training will be more challenging, and our teaching style will become more demanding (in an encouraging way, of course!). On the other hand, if you just want to have fun and enjoy moving to music with a partner, we won’t overcomplicate things.
Our goal is to help you understand your body better, feel comfortable in it, and most importantly, have fun!
Do I need a dance partner?
The short answer is no. We teach both couples and individuals. If you don’t have a significant other or a friend to bring to your dance lesson, your instructor will simply become your dance partner, teaching you while dancing with you at the same time. The greatest benefit of dancing with a professional partner is that it will significantly accelerate your progress! You will quickly pick up the pace and rhythm of the dance, and you'll learn to interpret or give leading cues (depending on whether you're the leader or follower) much faster.
How do I start dancing?
Private lessons can be easily scheduled by contacting us via phone, text, or email. You can also fill out the form on our contact page, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. We will find a time that works best for you and your instructor, and meet you at the DanceLife Florida Dance Center in Bonita Springs.
All you need is comfortable clothing and shoes. You can start with sneakers or comfortable dress shoes. If you enjoy it and want to continue dancing, we can help you find the perfect dance shoe brand and model for you. We can also connect you with established Dancesport wear brands and designers.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your personal dance goals, don’t hesitate to give us a call! We’ll be happy to answer all your questions and help you get started!
