Our first lesson with Mariia was super fun, efficient, and comfortable. We are practicing for our wedding first dance and had no idea where to start and no dancing experience at all. Mariia was able to help us create a routine that we love and our guests will enjoy. We can’t wait for our next lesson! :)

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Slow Dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every lesson start with warm up where we repeat all the basic figures of the Latin program (cha cha, samba, rumba, pasodoble, jive) or the basic figures of the Ballroom program (Slow Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep) After the warm up, the practice begins with a detailed technique like footwork, arm styling, posture. In the final part of the class, you will learn a new dance routine.
