Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a partner to take lessons with?
No! You're welcome to bring a partner to lessons, but it's not necessary as Grace dances and teaches as both a lead and a follow.
How long is each lesson?
Each lesson lasts 60 minutes.
How do I schedule my first lesson?
Use the contact form to send an inquiry, including days and times that you're generally available. Grace will follow up with you within 24 hours.
How do I pay for lessons?
Bring cash or a check for the full amount to your first lesson. You can also pay via Venmo. The total is due upfront for all packages.
What type of shoes should I wear?
Wear something with a smooth sole (hard leather is great!) that are comfortable to move in. If you're preparing for a special occasion like your wedding dance, bring the shoes you plan to wear.
You may also want to invest in a pair of specialty dance shoes, with suede or hard leather soles for easier movement. Grace recommends Movin' Easy locally, or SwayD for online options.
