Do I need a partner for class?

Bringing a partner is not needed as we'll be rotating partners in class. If you prefer, you can bring your own partner dance with that person the entire class.

What should I wear to classes?

Any athletic gear, comfortable, loose or form fitting. Please wear shoes with less grip, or a pair of socks works well too.

What's better, group or private lessons?

They are both important tools to help you grow as a dancer. Group lessons are a great way to start, meet new friends, but classes are designed to meet the learning needs of different types of people/learners. In private lessons, you may learn at your own pace, and you can choose to have both Carla & Javi, or just one of them.
