This is a customizable service, for singles, couples, groups, bachelorette parties, etc. The smaller the size the more attention I can give to each person. I've been an avid two-stepper since 2017.

I go beyond that to teach dance etiquette, frame and what makes a good lead or follow. These are tips the large group lessons do not have time to educate on.

There are options and we can discuss where exactly you prefer. Bonus info: I am actually originally from Great Britain, so you will be learning Texas Two-Step from an English Gentleman.
