Questions are welcome
Your questions, answered
Thinking about a first lesson but not sure what to expect? Here are the things people ask us most — and if you do not see your question, just call or text. We are happy to help, no pressure.
Getting started
New to dancing? Start here
- Do I need any experience?
- No. Most people who come to Dance Passion are complete beginners. You do not need a background, rhythm, or any "natural talent" — just a willingness to try. We start wherever you are.
- Do I need a partner?
- No. You are welcome on your own or with a partner. Plenty of people come solo, and you can still learn and enjoy it.
- Do you teach beginners?
- Yes — beginners are who we love most. The whole studio is built to be a relaxed, no-judgment place to learn something new as an adult.
- Can singles and couples both come?
- Yes. Singles, couples, friends, and wedding couples are all welcome, and the free first lesson works the same way for everyone.
- What if I am nervous?
- That is completely normal, and you are not alone — almost everyone feels that way before their first lesson. There is no audience and no pressure. The first lesson is just a friendly, low-key way to see how it feels.
The first step
Your free first lesson
- Is the first lesson really free?
- Yes. Your first private lesson is genuinely free — no payment, and no obligation to sign up for anything afterward.
- How long is the free lesson?
- It is a 30-minute private lesson. That is enough time to try a few basics, ask questions, and decide whether it feels right for you.
- What should I wear?
- Just wear comfortable clothes you can move in, and shoes that are comfortable and not too sticky on the floor. You do not need special dance shoes for your first lesson.
- How do I book?
- The easiest way is to book the free lesson online, or call or text us at (727) 304-5904. We will find a time that works for you.
Lessons & classes
Ways to learn at Dance Passion
- What dances do you teach?
- We teach ballroom and Latin social dancing for all levels. Our weekly group class rotates through styles like Salsa, Swing, and Bachata, and private lessons can cover classic ballroom and Latin dances too. Tell us what you would like to learn and we will help you get there.
- Do you offer private lessons?
- Yes. Private lessons are one-on-one (or one couple) with your instructor, so the pace and the dances are tailored to you. Your free first lesson is a private lesson.
- Do you offer group classes?
- Yes. Group classes are a fun, low-pressure way to learn alongside other people and meet the community.
- When are group classes?
- Our group class is on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM. Schedules can change, so it is best to call or text us before you come for the first time.
Events
Practice parties & events
- When are practice parties?
- Practice parties are on Fridays at 7:45 PM — a relaxed chance to practice and dance socially. As with classes, please check with us before attending in case the schedule has changed.
- Should I call or text before attending an event?
- Yes, please do. Schedules can occasionally change, so a quick call or text to (727) 304-5904 makes sure you do not arrive on a night the time has moved or the studio is closed.
Wedding dance
Wedding first-dance help
- Can you help with a wedding first dance?
- Yes. We help wedding couples feel calm and comfortable for their first dance, whether you want something simple and relaxed or a little more planned. Many couples start with the free lesson to talk it through.
- Can we use our own wedding song?
- Absolutely. Bring the song that means something to you and we will build the dance around it. If you do not have a song yet, we can help you think it through.
- Can you edit our wedding song?
- Yes, we offer song editing support — for example, shortening or cleaning up a track so it is easier to dance to.
- Can you create custom choreography?
- Yes. We can plan custom choreography that fits your song, your comfort level, and the kind of moment you want — never more complicated than you want it to be.
