[Gordon J Pownall]

Both Sal and I have given private lessons for MJers as well as choreographing routines for wedding couples - first dance kinda stuff.

If you ask the dance teacher (who may need to refer to the franchisee), usually someone will usually provide dance lessons on 1-2-1 basis.

Generally there is not a set rate and price is usually left to the teacher (unless it is applied across an individual franchise). The trouble comes where the 'student' needs to pay for costs of a suitable place to be taught where there isn't a huge dining room with a wooden floor at home, for example.

Ask your teacher but make sure you are really clear about what you want to get out of the lesson(s) - it may be that a workshop with limited numbers will offer what you are looking for at a more reasonable cost and most dance organisations offer workshops covering all levels of dancer.

1-2-1 tuition is recommended though if you want to learn some really technical stuff, like for example some complex aerial moves or where you want to develop in a very specialist area - perhaps choreography for a competition etc...

David - you done any 1-2-1 tuition??? You obviously have extensive skills in specialist areas - any advice or thoughts...?
