We couldn\u2019t be happier with how the dance turned out and Ivana was an absolute joy to work with during this entire process. We had an amazing wedding day and we can\u2019t thank Ivana enough for helping us pull it off.<\/p>\n<p>Best,<br \/>\nMichelle\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>My fianc\u00e9 and I have had the best experience at EPA. We started with a smaller package (1 private and 2 group lessons) and loved our instructor so much that we decided to buy more private classes \u2013 both to perfect our dance and because we have so much fun! It has been one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. Highly recommend EPA \u2013 they are easy to work with, easily accessible in Manhattan, and a huge thanks to our instructor for such an amazing and fun experience!<\/p>\n<p>Anonymous\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>This dance studio is one of the most gorgeous studios I\u2019ve ever stepped foot in \u2014 the floor is incredibly well kept, and the atmosphere is terrific. The instructors seem incredibly friendly and passionate about their roles. I\u2019m very excited to take more dance classes here in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Google Review\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Private Lessons FAQ\u2019s:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Do I need a partner?<\/h3>\n<div>No! Many students start taking lessons on their own and many start with a partner. Either way we\u2019ve got you covered. If you do not have a partner you\u2019ll dance with your teacher and all their attention will be focused on you. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>If I bring my partner is there an extra cost?<\/h3>\n<div>No! The private lesson price is the same whether one or two people take the lesson. We can also accommodate larger groups at an additional cost. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Is it appropriate for absolute beginners to take private lessons?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes! In fact we recommend that you start with private lessons so that your instructor can create a personalized program and develop a class schedule that will be perfect for you. Private lessons help you learn more efficiently by eliminating guesswork.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>How many lessons will it take until I\u2019m great at the dance I want to learn?<\/h3>\n<div>It depends! At your introductory lesson we will learn more about your goals and how you learn and can give you a better idea at that time. But dance is truly an incredible journey \u2013 when you start it is often best to keep an open mind about the process of learning itself. Everyone learns at their own rate and the rate at which you learn is perfect! For best results we recommend taking two lessons per week to start out. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Can you accommodate high-level and professional dancers?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes! As the largest studio in Manhattan, EPA Dance Studio has vast resources of the best dancers and coaches to help you reach your goals. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>What should I wear to take private lessons?<\/h3>\n<div>What you wear is actually a very important part of your learning. For your first class wear clothes that are comfortable and make you feel fabulous. Once your goals become more clear your instructor will guide you as to what to wear.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Do I need special shoes?<\/h3>\n<div>True dance addicts eventually turn into dance SHOE addicts! Depending on your goals it may be beneficial to invest in a proper pair of dance shoes. However, it is very important to make this purchase with the guidance of your instructor to avoid getting something that won\u2019t work. For your first class wear comfortable shoes you already own that allow you to move easily across a wood floor without feeling too \u201csticky\u201d \u2013 for instance, sneakers are generally not ideal due to too much traction. The shoes should also stay securely on your foot so flip flops and slippers do not work. If you\u2019re unsure, socks are always a great backup plan on your first class!<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>I would like to learn a specific dance. Will my introductory lesson focus on it?<\/h3>\n<div>The introductory lesson is a chance for your instructor to understand your goals, movement and learning style better in order to personalize subsequent lessons to you perfectly. In order to do that, they will use their best judgement as to how to conduct the lesson. However you can certainly expect your desire to learn a specific dance to be addressed!<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Which dances do you teach?<\/h3>\n<div>Pretty much every partner dance style you can imagine! Just ask us and we will connect you with the perfect instructor for you.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<!-- {\"type\":\"layout\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"animation\":\"fade\",\"header_transparent\":false,\"header_transparent_noplaceholder\":false,\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/american-rhythm-style-swing-01-scaled.jpeg\",\"image_effect\":\"parallax\",\"image_loading\":true,\"image_parallax_bgy\":\"40vh\",\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"image_width\":\"2560\",\"media_overlay\":\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75)\",\"media_overlay_parallax_opacity\":\"0.3,1\",\"padding\":\"xlarge\",\"padding_remove_top\":true,\"style\":\"default\",\"text_color\":\"light\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"\",\"width\":\"\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"animation\":\"none\",\"content\":\"Private dance<br \/>lessons\",\"title_element\":\"h1\",\"title_style\":\"heading-2xlarge\",\"visibility\":\"s\"}},{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"animation\":\"none\",\"content\":\"Private dance lessons\",\"title_element\":\"h1\",\"title_style\":\"heading-xlarge\",\"visibility\":\"hidden-s\"}},{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"animation\":\"none\",\"content\":\"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
