FAQs

  • Do I need a partner?

    No. You can attend any of our Group Classes, Private Lessons or the Social Dance Evening with or without a partner.  If you do have a partner, you can dance with your partner.

    We do not require you to change partners in a Group Class. The person you dance with is entirely up to you.

  • How do I book a place in a group class?

    Bookings are not required for any group class. Simply turn up 10 minutes before the commencement of the class to enrol.

  • What payment methods are accepted?

    We accept cash and cheque. Credit Cards are not accepted.

  • How do I arrange for Private Lessons?

    Contact Penny on (02) 6231 4403 or email penny_dekauwe@bigpond.com.

  • What if I have not danced before?

    Our beginner classes are suitable for those who have not danced before. We assume that you have had no dance experience.

  • What should I wear for lessons?

    Most attire is suitable, providing it is neat and tidy, and most important of all comfortable.

    No black rubber soled shoes that leave skid marks. No thongs or loose footwear.  No bare feet.

    It is not necessary to buy "dance shoes" for social dancing. Any fitting shoes other than rubber soled sport shoes are acceptable.  

  • How many lessons do I need for a Bridal Dance preparation?

    Usually a couple would need 4 hours of private tuition for basic bridal dance preparation.  This time is a guide only and can vary depending on the dance or complexity of dance routine you wish to have for this special occassion. Choose your music and bring it when you commence your lessons.

  • Should I choose Private Lessons or Group Classes?

    Private lessons are suited for dancers wishing to learn quickly with individual instructor attention.  Private lessons are particularily suiatable for Bridal Dance training, competition dance training or medal test training. 

     

    Group classes are a cost effective way of learning to dance.  You need not have a partner to attend group lessons.  The class you select is suited to a particular level of dance.  For example, a beginners' class is suited to someone who has never danced before.  An intermediate class is suited to a pupil who knows the basics. You are not required to change partners in Group Classes.

     

    Some students have both Private Lessons and attend Group Classes.
