Don’t jump into private lessons too soon, though. Some of you may feel a little shy in group classes at first, but stick with it until you get to a level of basic proficiency. Then you can get together with an instructor one-on-one in his or her studio and ask all the stupid questions you’ve been stacking up! Here’s where you can put away any fears of being embarrassed, show your private instructor what you don’t know, what you’ve never understood, what you keep getting wrong.

A private lesson is the perfect place to correct your bad habits, before they become too engrained in your muscles. Which is why you shouldn’t wait too long to start the private lessons, either. The ideal time to begin private lessons is two or three weeks into your group lessons, and the ideal amount is once a week.

So, how do you find a private instructor? First, ask your group instructors. Most of them will also teach privates, and if they don’t they’ll be able to refer you to somebody. You can also search the Internet, Craigslist.com is, of course, a good place to start. The instructor you end up working best with might be male or female, irrespective of your gender. I’ve known both women and men who prefer a female instructor, and I’ve known both women and men who prefer a male instructor. There are some specific requirements that you might have, though. If you are a woman and are specifically looking for sexy, feminine styling, you’ll probably want a female instructor. If you’re a leader and you’re looking for a lot of new, and increasingly advanced patterns, you might be better off with a male instructor. There are exceptions to this rule, but male instructors usually have a bigger arsenal of moves. But what you want in an instructor probably has more to do with his or her skills than his or her gender. You want someone who teaches at your pace, is patient, and dances in a style that appeals to you. Most of all, you want somebody you trust. You need to be able to look like a fool in front of this person, and you need to feel safe to ask really dumb questions! If you don’t, he or she can’t teach you much!

When your private lesson begins, remember, YOU are the boss. The instructor is there to help you, and only you know exactly what you want and need to get out of your hour together. He or she is the expert, yes, but don’t feel intimidated by that. You are the person who hired the teacher to make your dancing better. You should, of course, listen to all that your private instructor advises, but if she’s taking you down a different road than you want to, speak up! Your teacher might assume that as a leader you want to learn a bunch of patterns, when you really want to perfect the leads you have, or vice-versa. Maybe your teacher wants to show you fun, sexy embellishments as a follower, but you really want to learn how to follow very complicated patterns with multiple spins. Don’t forget that it’s your lesson, and you get to direct it!

Personally I love it that partner dancing is back in vogue. I grew up in the age of disco dancing and until I met my husband (I recently married for the second time at over 50), I had never danced with a partner. It’s a great feeling to dance holding someone you love, and these days there are so many choices – Salsa, Ceroc, Street Latin, Rock’n'Roll, Swing, Latin, Ballroom, – the list goes on and on!

Of course partner dances are also a great way to meet that special someone – it’s easy for two people to bop to pop music without talking to each other, but it feels downright rude not to speak to someone you’re holding on to! So partner dancing is a great ice-breaker if you’re a single.

A lot of people assume that you need to have a partner already before you go to a ballroom, salsa or swing class. True, if you are going to some of the more advanced classes you may find most people are already partnered off – but in the beginner’s classes, singledom is more common. Unfortunately for us, there are often more girls than men – so guys, if you’re shy about going to a dance class, don’t be: you’ll probably be welcomed with open arms no matter what kind of dancer you are!

When my husband first introduced me to ballroom and Latin dancing, I was astonished at how big a social scene there was. All these years, I’d been bemoaning the fact that there was nowhere for adults (as opposed to 16-year-olds) to go dancing -and all the time, there were socials running all over town, full of people my age! I didn’t know about them because they’re only publicised to those “in the know” – you have to go along to the classes to find out about them. The same may be true in your city, so it’s worth finding out.   Just Ballroom Dance

WPBF News Channel 25 comes to see Corky and Florence at the Paramount Ballroom.

Florence Henderson will be debuting in a new role, celebrity dancer on “Dancing with the Stars,” which premiered Sept. 20th on ABC.

Here’s a picture with one of Paramount’s students with Florence and Corky.

Henderson and her partner, Corky Ballas, spent some time Tuesday practicing their spins and routine here at the Paramount Ballroom in Palm Beach. Henderson said she has always been a fan of the show and can’t wait to begin dancing.

Her training includes about five to six hours of dancing six days a week. Henderson said she has the edge in the dance competition because of her extensive experience on stage, television and entertainment.
