Let me start with a quote from Fred Astaire:
“Some people seem to feel that good dancers are born. All the good dancers I’ve known have been taught or trained.”
I use a term called “learning by osmosis”. What this means is you do anything long enough, you will become better. Some teachers (and studios) know this and simply look after you, make sure you have fun, and know that over (a long) time. Dancing and comfort will be obtained.
The trouble with “osmosis learning” is the time it takes, plus you are building in bad habits, in technique, style and timing.
Start with a good studio with good teachers.
Good Studios
Good Teachers
Learning properly will give focus initially on easy step elements and teach the essential foundation techniques and styles laying down early good habits – that all good dancers have.
If these Private lessons are then augmented with small groups sessions which, under supervision practice the step elements, style and techniques. With other students at your level. This means less revision on your Private Lessons and more time spent and creating and achieving brilliance as a Social Dancer.

I promised my wife 30 years ago i would learn to dance. They say it is better late than never. Thanks to Steven and Maki i look forward to our dance lessons and meeting other people at the studio, all at different levels. Steven and Maki are wonderful instructors with the ability to make you feel comfortable while you are learning. If you want to meet genuine people, learn how to dance and have a good time come alone to 5th Avenue Dance Studio. I wish i had meet Steven and Maki 30 years ago.... See MoreSee Less

This is a fantastic dance studio which has a lot to offer to those willing to learn. I have been at this studio for many years and have grown greatly as a dancer in this time. Steven and Maki have taught me everything I know and I have met some amazing People dancing here at the studio. Unfortunately I had to move away for a little while for work but I will be back and I miss the studio greatly. Can’t wait to come back again!... See MoreSee Less

Outstanding commitment from all teachers. Private lessons were fun and full of encouragement, precise instruction and heaps of great tunes. I love the many opportunities to meet other
Dancers at beautiful social events both inside and outside the studio. You made me feel so welcome and my confidence in social dancing has greatly improved. Thanks Maki and Steve and everyone at 5th Avenue.... See MoreSee Less
