Private Dance Lessons Port Jefferson
Start with a consultation where we discuss your goals, timeline, and what you want to achieve. No pressure, just honest conversation about what makes sense for you.
We’ll create a customized plan based on your schedule and comfort level. Some couples need just 5-10 lessons for a simple, elegant routine. Others want to dive deeper into multiple dance styles.

Group Dance Classes Port Jefferson
Private lessons give you focused, one-on-one attention when you need it most. Perfect for wedding preparation or when you want to progress quickly without distractions.
Group classes offer a social atmosphere where you can learn alongside other couples in Port Jefferson. Great for ongoing practice and meeting people who share your interest in dance.
We teach all the classics: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Swing, plus Latin styles like Salsa, Cha-Cha, and Rumba. Port Jefferson couples particularly love our wedding dance specialization, where we create custom choreography that matches your song and personality perfectly.
How far in advance should we start wedding dance lessons?
Start 3-6 months before your wedding for the best results. This gives you time to learn without rushing and lets the moves become natural rather than memorized.
If you’re short on time, don’t panic. We can create a beautiful, simple routine in 5-10 lessons that will still look polished and feel comfortable. The key is working with your natural abilities rather than trying to force complicated choreography.
Earlier is better because wedding planning gets hectic as your date approaches. Starting sooner means less stress and more confidence on your big day.
Do we need any dance experience before starting lessons?
Absolutely not. Most of our Port Jefferson couples start as complete beginners, and that’s perfectly fine.
We design every lesson around your current skill level. If you’ve never danced before, we start with basic posture, simple steps, and getting comfortable moving together. If one of you has some experience, we work with that.
The goal isn’t to turn you into professional dancers overnight. It’s to give you enough skill and confidence to enjoy your moment without worrying about what you’re doing wrong.
What if we don't have a wedding song picked yet?
We can help you choose the perfect song, or we can work with whatever you eventually select. Many couples change their minds during the process, and that’s completely normal.
We keep a list of songs that work well for different dance styles and skill levels. Some songs are naturally easier to dance to than others, so we can guide you toward choices that will make your life easier.
If you already have a song you love, we’ll make it work. We’ve choreographed routines to everything from classic love ballads to current pop hits, even “Dirty Dancing” themes.
How much do ballroom dance lessons cost in Port Jefferson?
We start with a consultation session for $39 per couple. This gives you a chance to meet your instructor, discuss your goals, and see if we’re a good fit before committing to a full program.
Private lesson packages vary based on how many sessions you need and your specific goals. Wedding dance preparation typically runs 5-10 lessons, while ongoing social dancing might be more open-ended.
We’re upfront about pricing and don’t push long-term contracts or expensive packages. You pay for what you need, when you need it.
What should we wear to our first dance lesson?
Comfortable clothes you can move in easily. Think about what you’d wear to a casual dinner out – nothing too formal, but avoid anything too restrictive.
For shoes, women should wear something with a small heel or flat sole that won’t stick to the floor. Avoid sneakers or rubber soles that can catch and trip you up. Men should wear leather-soled dress shoes or smooth-soled casual shoes.
Don’t worry about buying special dance shoes right away. See how you like the lessons first, then we can recommend specific footwear if you decide to continue.
Can we take lessons if only one of us wants to dance?
This happens more often than you’d think, and we work with it all the time. Usually the reluctant partner comes around once they see it’s not as intimidating as they imagined.
We start slowly and focus on making the hesitant partner comfortable. No pressure, no judgment, just patient instruction that builds confidence gradually.
Many of our most enthusiastic students started as the “dragged along” partner. Once they realize they can actually do this, they often become more excited about lessons than the person who originally wanted to start.
