Laurie Ann has been teaching dance since 1980. She has performed both with a partner and with a troupe. She specializes in teaching the skills of leading and following, dancing to the music, and working with psychological and physical barriers.
She firmly believes anyone can learn to dance!
How it all Works
Discuss your goals in the initial phone call to see if private dance lessons are what you need. You can also get help figuring out which dances will meet your needs. You can learn everything you want in private lessons, or combine them with group lessons at another school.
Scheduling lesson once a week works best for most people, but you can come more or less frequently as you wish.
Lessons can be scheduled one at a time or in a five lesson package for a discount. One at a time lessons are paid for at the time the appointment is made (except for the first one), and that represents a commitment to taking it at some point. With twenty four hour notice it can be rescheduled, but no refunds. Package commits you to five lessons and is paid for at the end of the first lesson. You can decide after the first lesson whether or not to choose the package.
Cancellation without twenty four hour notice costs you a lesson. Exceptions may be made for emergencies at Laurie Ann's discretion.
Gift Certificates
Personalized gift certificates can be made to order at no extra charge. They can be redeemed any time within a year.
Rent a Partner
Too shy to get out there and ask strangers to dance?
If you need a skilled partner for a special event or just to accompany you to a dance for practice, your teacher can be hired at the hourly cost of private lessons for a social evening.
