Private Lessons

Personalized, individual support for your dance journey.

Learning that meets you exactly where you’re at

Private lessons offer focused, one-on-one (or one-on-two) guidance to explore dance in a way that’s responsive to you. Each session is shaped around your questions, curiosities, and goals.

This format creates space to slow things down and make sense of the material in a way that feels clear and grounded.

You may be looking to untangle something specific, deepen your understanding, or explore a new direction at your own pace. No matter your experience or needs, you’re welcome here!

My partner and I really enjoyed our private lessons with Deanna! She was patient and knowledgeable, giving us the flexibility to learn at a comfortable pace but still push our boundaries with a fun lift!

My last experience taking a dance class wasn’t good. The teacher went too fast. There wasn’t enough repetition for a true beginner. This is going to be different. The pace is slow enough to learn steps well while fast enough to stay interesting. You really should try this.

Great music, clean floors, and awesome instructor! I would absolutely join another one of Deanna’s weekly series!
