Are Private Lessons Right for You?

Private dance lessons are ideal if you’re looking for personalized instruction, faster progress, and flexible scheduling. They allow us to focus entirely on your needs, goals, and learning pace.

That said, we generally recommend starting your Argentine Tango journey with group classes, or at least combining group classes with private lessons. Group classes provide essential context, musicality, and social dance skills that are difficult to replicate one-on-one, especially for complete beginners.

If you’re new to tango, we strongly encourage pairing private lessons with group classes whenever possible. You can view the current group class schedule HERE.

Private Lessons – Policies & Guidelines

We’re sharing these guidelines for clarity and mutual understanding. Our preference is always a partnership-based agreement rather than a rules-heavy one, but having expectations clearly outlined helps everything run smoothly for everyone.

Lesson Format

  • Private lessons are 60, 90 or 120 minutes, depending on the package purchased.

  • Multiple lessons may take place at the same time in the studio.
    If you require absolute privacy, please let us know in advance, and we can discuss availability and terms.

Packages & Scheduling

  • Discounted lesson packages are designed for a weekly cadence.

  • A 10-lesson package is valid for 14 weeks from the first scheduled lesson.

  • Packages allow for up to 4 reschedules within the validity period.

  • Lessons scheduled less frequently (e.g., every 2–3 weeks) are typically treated as individual lessons, not packages.
    Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis, subject to availability.

  • Standing weekly appointments are prioritized.
    If a time slot is booked as a standing weekly lesson by another student, that commitment takes precedence. Non-weekly lessons cannot guarantee a fixed time slot.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

  • A 24-hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule a lesson.

  • No-shows or late cancellations will result in one lesson being deducted from your package.

  • Please cancel by email or text.

Punctuality

  • If you arrive late, the lesson will still end at the scheduled time.

  • Please avoid arriving more than 10–15 minutes early, as other lessons may still be in progress.

Observers

  • If you’d like to bring someone to observe your lesson, please let us know ahead of time.

Our goal is to create a respectful, focused learning environment while remaining flexible where possible. If you ever have questions or need to discuss your schedule, just reach out.

Existing Packages

  • If you have an existing private lesson package (including pre-COVID packages), you’re absolutely welcome to use it.

  • If the booking system is prompting you to purchase a new package even though you know you have lessons remaining, please email us and we’ll take care of it.

First-Time Private Lessons

  • If you’ve never taken private lessons with us before and would like to start, wonderful.

  • Please note that we don’t offer free trial private lessons. All private lessons are paid and scheduled according to the policies above.
