Send to friendHow We Teach
Cinema Ballroom teaches you how to partner dance by a combination of four methods: private lessons, group classes, practice parties 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.
Take one private lesson a week and group classes and practice parties that week are free!
We currently have five price levels of dance instructors. Associate, Associate Staff, Staff, Senior and Principal. Visit our staff page for a description of each of the levels.

Coaching
A coach is an instructor who is usually distinguished as a current or past dance champion. As coaches visit our area, we invite them to be a third party instructor and an expert eye on our private lessons. Their insight enriches and invigorates the student's dance goals.
Coaching fees differ depending on the coach. We recommend contacting the studio to find out fees for specific coaches when they are in town. See our coaching schedule to find out who/when coaches will be in town.
