: I'm a complete beginner to latin dancing and any other form of formal dancing for that matter. I would love to learn merengue or salsa. I see that there are opportunities for beginner classes but I'm not quite comfortable to take the leap in a group yet and was wondering I a few private lessons would help get my feet wet! What do you guys think?
: I could not find any information on private instruction classes on the site. Can you provide any pointers?
I would recommend going to a beginner group class. They are designed to be welcoming, and keep in mind that most other people in the class are in the same boat and equally uncertain.
Privates are fairly expensive and are particularly good for learning something specific or working out some issue with your own dancing, but as a total beginner you'd be wasting your time and money. You really need the experience of dancing with lots of people, plus you have the added bonus of meeting people as well.
Join us at Caribe for example on Thur. at 9pm for a great into lesson.
