FREE CONSULTATION
Book Your Free Consultation. This consultation should last for no more than 5 minutes. Steven or Maggie will consult with you over your requirements.
What we Will Discuss
Your consultation enables Steven to tailor tuition to your requirements and should take less than 5 minutes of your time.
Maybe you have always wanted to learn a Ballroom or Latin dance, but never had the time or opportunity in the past. Perhaps you want to learn for a specific event, such as a cruise for example. In this instance Steven will recommend the most common dances the band will play and will structure your lesson accordingly.
If you want to learn for your First Dance, Steven will want to know your vision and music choice. He will also discuss a number of topics such as the wedding dress and dance space practicalities so that your first dance runs as smoothly as possible.
If you have been dancing for some time, you may want Steven to focus on floorcraft, for example, or review your existing choreography repertoire and extend it with additional detail. Some leaders may wish to learn, or further improve, how to deliver more effective and superior leads through understanding how to amplify the signals to which a follower will respond. Followers may like to learn how to gain greater control and independence through correct or improved technique, allowing them to interpret and respond to leads with the appropriate energy and improved stability.
Some new students feel they need a boost to build up confidence before joining a class. A private lesson, with its focussed attention, gives you a great head-start.

BOOKINGS, PAYMENTS & TIME SLOTS
Please discuss additional lesson bookings with Maggie. Payment is due at the start of the lesson. If payment is unavailable, please pay within 24 hours. Failure to pay within 24 hours will result in a £5 additional fee being added to the outstanding fee.
We offer time slots and not a duration of time. For example, if the hour time slot starts at 10:00am and the student arrives at 10:15am, whilst the lesson duration would consequently be 45 minutes, the fee will still be that for the hour booked.
On occasions lessons may start a few minutes late due to unforeseen circumstances. If this occurs, you will still have your full lesson duration. If you must leave at the original finishing time, we will refund you the outstanding time.
