Cost for Private Lessons and Group Classes: The first thing most people want to know about taking ballroom dancing lessons in Houston is how much they are going to cost. The second thing most people want to know about learning ballroom dancing is how long it will take. Learning ballroom dancing is not the least expensive activity there is, but volume discounts on ballroom dance lessons is the most effective savings option, especially if the lessons are private. The Dance Whisperer offers five different rate options for private ballroom dance lessons for adult couples starting at $75 decreasing the rate to $55 per lesson, depending on how many dance lessons are purchased in advance. The more dance lessons that are purchased, the more the savings for each dance lesson. Ballroom dancing classes for small groups of couples as low as $20 per couple can also be organized. Start your own weekly ballroom dance class!

Exclusively Private Dance Floor: Although they will cost more, private dance lessons accelerate learning because each lesson is tailored to the individual needs and pace of each student. Private dance lessons are ideal on a private dance floor (as opposed to a shared floor), which eliminates all external distractions. Ideally, the music played during a private dance lesson is suited for the dance being taught and learned. The proper music enhances muscle memory since each kind of dance was inspired by and evolved from a particular kind of music. Learning how to dance the rhumba while waltz music is playing during a semi-private lesson is counter-intuitive. On an exclusively private dance floor, the dance instructor can provide an enviroment that is conducive for optimal learning for each and every student. The Dance Whisperer is located just inside the Loop a few blocks south of the Galleria in Houston, Texas, and offers ultimate privacy with an exclusively private dance floor.

TDW's Menu of Dances: The smooth or traveling ballroom dances taught by the Dance Whisperer are American social style and include the waltz, foxtrot, and tango. For Houston couples who enjoy a challenge, the Dance Whisperer's private dance lessons also include the Viennese waltz. Men usually fair well learning the smooth traveling dances, which are most often men's ballroom dances of choice. The Latin dances taught by the Dance Whisperer are rumba, cha cha, samba, and salsa. East and west coast swing—also taught by the Dance Whisperer—fall under the umbrella of rhythm dances, although they are not Latin. Rhythm dance styles are more often preferred by women, but there are exceptions for both men and women. The Dance Whisperer also teaches country western dancing, including Texas two step, triple two step (which is essentially a traveling east coast swing without the lilt or buoyancy of east coast swing), western waltz, as well as offering Argentine tango dancing lessons.

How Long Will It Take Us to Learn Ballroom Dancing? Short-term and long-term goals will dictate the answer. Preparing for a first wedding dance would be considered a short-term goal and can take anywhere from three to ten dance lessons. Couples who are actually interested in learning ballroom dancing as a hobby or recreational activity will obviously require more lessons. Dancing is a discipline, after all, and learning ballroom dancing—like any other discipline—requires a commitment that takes time, patience, and several lessons. So let's get started!
