Beyond regular instruction, the studio runs social dance parties, public dance parties, spotlight performances, dinner dances, and dance competitions. Wedding dance lessons with choreography are a distinct service line, available as a package of five 45-minute private sessions for $475. An introductory package for new students includes two 30-minute private appointments, one 45-minute group lesson, and one social party, priced at $75 for four lessons (marketed as a $260 value), with no contracts or commitments required.
