Each lesson lasts 60 minutes daily from 10:00 to 22:00.

Is it hard to learn to dance?

Dance is for everybody, regardless of gender, age or physique. It only takes willpower and patience and not special skills, talent or previous knowledge. The teaching of Latin, European, Greek and Cypriot dances starts from scratch and progresses gradually and always according to your personal needs.

How long will it take before I learn to dance?

You will be able to dance the basic steps after your first 2-3 lessons. You will be able to recognize each rhythm after 4-5 lessons. From then on it depends on what you want from your dancing and how much time you can spare for your goal. An average of 2 units per week for about a year is enough to dance everything very well. This depends on the dances you want to learn and the stage you want to reach. To learn the basic steps in the eight Latin and European dances you need about 8 to 14 lessons depending on your perception.

There are initial “get-to-know-us” packages with significant discounts whether you choose to pay in cash or in instalments. In some cases, there are special offers. Your first lesson is always FREE.

If, however, your desire is a single dance, our schools clearly can fulfil it for you.
