Be on time or a little early.
The music is playing before class for you to warm up and practice. So do not sit around. Get up and Dance!
Remember, classes and workshops are meant to be fun as well as informative. Develop the ability to laugh at yourself and with your partner. Life is too short. Lighten up and Enjoy!
We all learn at different speeds so do not get discouraged if you feel slower than the rest of the class.
You probably will not understand everything the first time. Be patient and stay with it. If it hurts, STOP! Find out what you need to do differently.
Speak up if you cannot see, hear or understand the instructor.
Let the instructor know if you're confused or if they forget to change partners.
If you have questions during class, please ask the instructor for clarification, not another student. You are probably not the only one with that question, and others will benefit from the answer. Bring a note pad and takes notes immediately after class is finished. Believe it or not, you'll forget up to 70% by the time you get home!
Don't feel threatened or discouraged by correction. It's not personal. Take advantage of it. It's like having a little mini private lesson right there in class.
There is usually not enough time in classes or workshops to give much personal, one-on-one attention.
Personal attention is otherwise known as
"Private Lessons". If you would like private instruction,
please talk to one of our expert instructors
