Frequently Asked Questions
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. If you're buying a package, the total is due upfront.
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.
Do lessons expire when you buy a package?
Yes, but only after a full year has passed since purchase. That should be more than enough time to complete the lessons in any package, no matter how crazy your schedule is.
What is your cancellation policy?
24 hours notice is required to avoid forfeiting the lesson, but additional time is always appreciated!
What do I need to know about working with Grace on a first dance?
First, we get in touch to schedule our first lesson together. You can use my contact form.
For couples preparing for their first dance, we always discuss music choices before our first lesson together. I like to at least have it narrowed down to a couple of songs in advance, which I'm happy to help with.
During our first lesson, we lay the foundation - how to connect, move, and some basic vocabulary. In the next couple of lessons, we add more advanced moves and continue fine-tuning what you've already learned. Depending on how fancy you'd like your first dance to be, you might choose a package with more lessons. In our final lesson, we add the finishing touches and practice, practice, practice.
