North Shore Dance Society – Glencoe teaches you how to partner dance by a combination of four methods: private lessons, group classes (ONLY privately organized by our students), practice parties (ONLY by request from our students) and coaching.
Private Lessons
A private lesson is 45 minutes of one-on-one instruction. This is the most effective way to further your dance education. We focus on dance steps, technique and styling. We teach all the social dances and employ the nationally recognized DVIDA syllabus for American Smooth and Rhythm as well as International Latin and Standard. You may take private lessons alone or with a partner.
Five reasons why private dance classes are the best way to learn dancing:
Personalized attention: Private dance classes offer one-on-one attention from a professional instructor, which can help you learn faster and more effectively than in a group setting.
Customized curriculum: Private dance classes allow you to tailor your curriculum to your specific needs and goals, whether you want to learn a specific dance style or prepare for a special event.
Flexible scheduling: Private dance classes offer more flexibility in scheduling than group classes, allowing you to choose the time and frequency of your lessons.
Faster progress: With personalized attention and customized curriculum, you can make faster progress in your dancing skills than in a group setting.
Increased confidence: Private dance classes can help you build confidence in your dancing abilities, which can translate to other areas of your life.
Group Classes
Our studio offers Dance Group Classes only if our students request and organize/guarantee 5 people minimum at a price of $25 per person. We also teach group classes at our students’ homes, but we charge an additional $100 for travel expenses.
Group classes are a great supplement to private dance lessons because they offer several benefits:
Socialization: Group classes provide an opportunity to meet new people and socialize while learning to dance.
Learning from others: In group classes, you can learn from other students’ mistakes and successes, which can help you improve your own dancing skills.
Practice: Group classes offer a chance to practice your dancing skills with other students, which can help you build confidence and improve your technique.
Affordability: Group classes are generally more affordable than private lessons, making them a great option for those on a budget.
