Frequently Asked Questions
How much do dance lessons cost?
Group classes typically cost $15-30 per class. Private lessons range from $50-150 per hour depending on the instructor and style. Packages and memberships offer 10-25% savings.
What age can children start dance?
Most studios offer creative movement for toddlers (2-3 years). Formal dance training typically begins at age 4-5 for ballet, with other styles starting around age 6-7.
How many lessons do I need for my wedding dance?
Most couples need 6-10 lessons for a basic wedding dance. Complex choreography may require 12-15 lessons. Start at least 2-3 months before your wedding.
Are drop-in classes or packages better?
If you plan to attend regularly (1+ times per week), packages save 10-25%. Drop-ins are better for occasional dancers or those trying different styles.
Can dance studios customize this calculator?
Yes! Dance studios and instructors can customize styles, pricing, packages, and add-ons to match their offerings and embed it on their website.
