Best Dance Classes in Clearwater, FL

No. You do not need a partner to take one of our lessons. Most students come without a partner and the number of men and women in the classes are usually almost even. In case the number of men and women are very different, there are many movements and steps that can be learned without a partner

We offer three levels of instruction for beginner students which are described below. If you are interested in learning the basic steps, basic turns, cross body lead, cross body lead with turn, lead and follow, and basic combinations of these, we recommend you to take our beginner lessons. Please continue reading below to understand what level of class best matches your level of dancing.

Many people interested in salsa classes call and ask for Private Classes. In order to save our students money we like to advise the following: Come to a setting that is not "nightclub" oriented to learn your basics first (The Promenade). Take at least 3-4 group classes and then if you really want to take Private Classes you will have a basis to work from. You will also be able to pinpoint things that you want to work on that you may be having trouble grasping in a group setting. This way you get more bang for your buck! Private classes are expensive so we want you to get the most for your money. For those of you who are on the shy side and do not want to learn basics in front of anyone else or for those of you who want 1 on 1 personal attention only Private Classes are definitely the right choice. Hugo and Grace offer those students who take private lessons that do not have a partner the option to have a partner join the class. We will give you a private class, assess your level and then pick a student who is at your level that we know and invite them to your private class so that you can dance with them and we can evaluate your progress and even point out mistakes that we see to better help you become a great salsa dancer.
