Private Dance Lessons

---

Private lessons with Loisa are an essential part of your complete dance instruction, and a great way to jump start your dance. It is said that the value of a private lesson is about the same as 5 group lessons. 

A great idea is to take a private lesson within two days of a group lesson, so you and your teacher can address any specific concerns and issues.  Bring your videocamera! At Loisa's studio, you are also guaranteed a private studio, so you will have the full impact of the instructor and the correct music.  Most studios cannot do this!

What you can expect in a private lesson:

• The teacher will dance with you (and your partner, if you have one).  She will bring up aspects of your dance that can only be discerned by your partner, and corrected by an experienced teacher.
• In group lessons, a student can overcorrect or undercorrect, or misunderstand the instruction given by the teacher.  In a private lesson setting, these problems can be addressed quickly and corrected before they get to be ingrained habits.
• The teacher can pinpoint issues and assets that relate to you and your style, and bring out the best of your own style.
• You will get several things to work on (homework!).  Doing your homework will jumpstart your dance to the level of skill and excellence that will help you to attain your dance goals as quickly as possible.
• You will get the advantage of dancing with a skilled partner.  This will allow you to practice some of your more advanced moves, before you take them to the floor.
• You can work at the pace that you like, on the specific issues you have, in the manner that works best for you. You can work on several dances, too!

These are only some of the advantages.  When purchased in a group of lessons, or shared with a partner, group lessons are very affordable.  If you would like to learn from a couple, you can arrange this when you schedule your lessons.

Private Lessons are available daily, by appt: 
$85 per 1 hour lesson (1-4 people) 
$120 per 1 hour lesson (5+ people) 
$150 per hour - Offsite at your location

Packages available! Contact Loisa for details. CRASH COURSE!  So many times I see a person come back in one week, and the same problems are back that I thought we fixed the week before. Don't waste your time and money - get after your problems and fix them! Here's my incentive deal: Either by yourself, or with a partner, take a private lesson every day for one week. Take 5 lessons within one week, and pay only $425.  In addition, I will include one of the 5 group lessons that are offered within the week. This promotion is good if you sign up before the end of November.

What will you get when you learn with Loisa Donnay?  A teacher who constantly (and sometimes even annoyingly) challenges you. Someone who is excellent at offering images, analogies, explanations and exercises (which are important) that you can understand. Someone who is good at analyzing your strengths and weaknesses and helping you to balance out your dance. And if they are also a social wizard and their house is a constant mecca of stimulating conversation, cuddly dancers and inspiring classes, a place to learn, teach, practice and develop, that is an added bonus. And, above all, someone whose attitude towards the dance is one of exploration, play, development, who is observant, critical and analytical, but never ever judgmental.
