Private Lessons

 Click here for   Conditions of entry to our studio regarding COVID, Colds and Flu

Private lessons are one-on-one lessons with the teacher rather than a group class and are held at a mutually convenient time Monday through Thursday afternoon / evenings and Saturday mornings.

You can choose to cover all styles of ballroom dancing or you can concentrate on one area – the choice is yours.

Unlike a group class, a private lesson moves at your pace and you have the undivided attention of the teacher.

You can learn to dance for solely social purposes or if you want more of a challenge, through your private lessons you can take your medals, prepare for competition or performance dancing.

What to wear and bring to your lesson?

  • Clothing – Comfortable smart casual clothing
  • Footwear – proper ballroom dance shoes with indoor suede soles are required for all students in all lessons. We ask that you have your shoes by your 4th week with us. Beginners, until you have your ballroom shoes, please wear firm fitting, smooth, non-rubber soled business shoes, preferably court shoes for the ladies, no thongs, slip-ons, slides or scuff styles. Joggers, fine stiletto heels, rubber-soled and work boots are equally unsuitable. Your teacher will discuss where to purchase your ballroom shoes.
  • You might like to bring a water bottle and hand towel along.  We do have these items for sale, along with Chill Towels.

Therese, you are a wonderful teacher, you explain things very clearly, take time to help anyone who is struggling, you have a lot of patience and are able to communicate well with both adults and children alike.

As a lot of parents do, we wanted to provide the opportunity for our children to dance from an early age to develop their sense of rhythm and also confidence. Their first dance studio offered jazz ballet, tap and traditional ballet. This was nice at the start but after a couple of years, their routines were becoming a bit inappropriate for their age, Read more...

When we started with Penrith Ballroom Dance, all we had was a vague idea that we wanted to do more than just move randomly in time with the music and we had looked enviously at those couples who could actually dance. Neither of us had the slightest idea of how to dance, we both had 'two left feet' and we were very nervous at appearing foolish and uncoordinated. Read more...

In my experience, learning to dance at Penrith Ballroom Dance has been fantastic. I first joined the studio when I was 12 years old and took part in the children's beginners class. I worked hard and enjoyed every moment of it, progressing through the years and the medals. Read more...

Before starting our lessons with Penrith Ballroom Dance in late 2005 we were apprehensive and somewhat nervous. We did not know the difference between a rumba, samba or cha cha cha. Even foxtrot, waltz and quickstep were just names of dances we had seen in crosswords. However, at our first lesson we were warmly welcomed and found how easy it was Read more...

My fiance loves to dance, whereas I could not, and she wanted to dance at our wedding, not just stand there and sway.

Before we started our lessons I didn't think it would be possible for me to learn to dance, until I met the principal of Penrith Ballroom Dance. I said to my fiance that she doesn't know how lucky she was to find a teacher like Therese. Read more...
