Re: private time with instructors allowed?

I am curious to find out why instructors do not offer private lessons or any one-on-one time with dancers to assist them in improving any potential problems.

who teaches you how to execute a spin properly so that you (the follower) can keep your balance or so that you (the leader) doesn't take the follower out of balance, or knock your head?

I have found that dancers won't tell someone they are dancing with that they are causing them grief in a part of their dance out of common courtesy. So, how do you find out that you may have a problem that you didn't know about?


Hi Cali,

Well it looks like they do private lessons in NZ (your original question).
If you are ever over in Australia private lessons are also offered here.

As to spinning certainly a private lesson should sort that out, if you are visiting Sydney, whilst the Intermediate class is on, they run a "freestyle" class for the beginners to teach all those things that get you freestyling quicker (including spinning, tips and tricks and feedback)


As to feedback from other dancers - I have stopped giving feedback unless it is requested as many people have an overinflated opinion of thier abilities after only a few lessons.
If you request feedback I am sure people will be happy to offer it.
