SMALL GROUP LESSONS

Greetings all, hope you had a wonderful holiday!

Several students have expressed interest in organizing small group lessons in either Argentine Tango or East Coast Swing. These are lessons that combine the best elements of group and private lessons.

I can accommodate up to 6 students at a time for small group lessons. The cost is $10/person/hour, in blocks of 5 weeks. Each student pays $50 at the start of the block of 5 classes, and then we schedule the 5 classes. When those are done we do it all again. The classes do NOT need to be every week, they can skip a week, the times can shift, or even the days can change in order to accommodate people's schedules. This way the group classes are small, cheap like group lessons but retain the scheduling nimbleness of private lessons. Each group is autonomous and can move as fast or as slow as they, as a group, decide!

If you are interested in grouping up with a few other students please let me know, and I will do my best to match people up according to interests and skill level.
If this format doesn't work for you then, as always, private lessons are available.

Cheers!
