If you've been taking bachata, salsa, or kizomba classes for months and feel like you're stuck, you're not imagining things.

You're doing your best—showing up to group classes, repeating the steps, trying to lead or follow better—but still feel unsure on the social dance floor. Your body remembers some moves, but the flow, confidence, or musicality just isn’t there.

You're not alone. And more importantly—you’re not the problem.

The issue is that most group classes are designed to help the group move forward together, not to help you grow at your own pace.

So if you’re serious about improving, the key isn’t more repetition.

It’s personalization.

⏱ One Hour of a Private Lesson Can Equal 3 to 4 Weeks of Group Classes

This isn’t just a catchy line—it’s backed by real data and experience.

When you take a private lesson, the instructor is focused 100% on you: your timing, your posture, your connection, your musical interpretation, and the specific issues blocking your progress.

In contrast, group classes are based on averages. You move at the pace of the group, and if something doesn’t click, there’s usually no time to stop and adjust for just one person.

That’s why one private class often creates more real progress than an entire month of group training.

🧠 Real Progress Comes From Real Personalization

According to the Journal of Motor Behavior (2017), personalized instruction improves skill retention by up to 60% compared to general group formats.

This is especially true in dance, where learning is both physical and emotional. A private class doesn’t just teach you steps—it helps you feel more comfortable in your body, improve your coordination, and connect with music in a way that fits your unique style.

It’s about building your own voice on the dance floor—not copying others.

❌ The Real Risk of Group Classes Alone: Repeating Errors Without Noticing

When something feels off in your dancing—like a partner connection that doesn’t land or a turn that feels clunky—you won’t always get the feedback you need in a group class.

Instructors in group formats simply can’t offer detailed, one-on-one correction every time.

And that leads to the biggest trap: repeating the same mistakes over and over, reinforcing bad habits that later take even longer to unlearn.

In private classes, those errors are spotted immediately, and we adjust them on the spot—so you don’t waste time practicing the wrong thing.

🎯 Motivation, Confidence, and Long-Term Growth: The Private Class Effect

Here’s what the industry numbers show:

• Students who take private lessons are 2.5x more likely to perform or compete.

• 80% of them report feeling more confident on the social floor—even with partners they don’t know.

• Dance schools offering combined programs (private + group) see 30% more student retention after 6 months.

Why? Because when people feel their own progress, they stay motivated.

Confidence isn't just about knowing the steps. It's about feeling solid in your fundamentals and clear in your execution—and that comes from personal guidance.

🔁 Private + Group + Social: The Combo That Actually Works

Let’s be honest: group classes have value. They expose you to different partners, dynamics, and energy levels—and that's a big part of what makes social dance fun.

But they aren't designed for personal breakthroughs. That’s where private lessons come in.

The real path to mastery looks like this:

1. Private lessons to make targeted improvements

2. Group classes to reinforce technique in a communal space

3. Social dancing to apply everything freely and naturally

This structure isn’t just efficient—it’s empowering. And it’s what I offer.
