Private lessons

Don’t wait for magic moments. Create them on the dance floor.

Step onto the floor with confidence and joy! Phil and Tanya Palma offer private ballroom lessons and group classes that are fun, stress-free, and tailored to you. Whether you are a brand-new beginner or a seasoned social dancer, you will learn solid technique and beautiful styling while actually enjoying the process, and yes, we love turning our years of experience into your next breakthrough!

As a teaching couple, Phil and Tanya give you the unique advantage of learning from both the leader’s and the follower’s perspective in every lesson. You see, feel, and understand the dance from both angles, making your progress faster, your partnership smoother, and your communication on the floor much clearer. You are never left guessing what your partner needs—because you are learning from both sides at once.

Beyond the lesson, you get real-world practice. We offer practice sessions and we actively dance at social events ourselves, so what you learn comes from real-life dance floor experience—not just theory, competition, or showcase routines. You will learn how to navigate a busy floor, adapt to different partners, and feel comfortable and confident dancing anywhere music is playing.
