I often get asked "Is it better to start off with private lessons or group classes?"
The answer depends on what your dancing goals are. If you are getting married or have a function to attend, take private lessons. You will be given one on one instruction on how to dance with confidence, technique and style so your event will be a success.
Lessons are also great if your goal is to showcase your new hobby in competition or displays.
Classes are a great way to gain confidence while learning to dance. The pace is slower as you move through the basic steps and normally you change partners to develop your leading and following skills. It is an inexpensive way to learn but a great social activity at the same time.
The perfect world would be to do both. That way you learn steps in a class environment and use your lesson to hone the finer skills and styling.
A lot of my students do both and they find it the most satisfying way to twinkle their toes.
Cheers!
