Dancing has the ability to make all these amazing Benefits yours!

Our team of professional dance instructors teach all popular Styles of Dance.
Going to the gym or jogging (outdoors or treadmill) is an unattractive way of staying fit for a lot of people. Dancing on the other hand is a mild form of aerobic and dance lessons make exercise a fun and enjoyable social activity any night of the week. That’s something to look forward to!
These are just two of many natural outcomes when you learn how to dance. Dancing opens doors at social events and private functions and people of all ages and walks of life can learn how to dance with the help of the PDX Methodology of Learning.
We know exactly that the first step is always the hardest step. For your convenience we have collected the questions we hear the most from our students. Please feel free to browse through these FAQs, and contact us if there’s anything further we can help you with.
There are LOTS of reasons:

Tuition varies depending on a number of factors. Each student has their own specific needs and goals, whether it is social dancing, competitive dancing or just for fun. At PDX we ensure that every dance program suits our student’s individual goals and budget.
Absolutely Not. Singles and couples are both welcome. If you don’t have a partner, we will be happy to pair you up with one of our amazing dance instructors. In our group classes and practice parties will provide plenty of opportunities to meet and dance with other students with the same interests and goals.
The length of your program will depend on how many dances you would like to learn and how proficient you wish to become in each dance style. However, we will ensure that on your first lesson you will be dancing!
If you have a specific dance or style your interested then we will focus on that, otherwise we will teach you a variety of the popular social dances such as club dancing, salsa, swing & more.

Not at all! We are known for making learning fun and easy. We teach five simple basic movements, from which new and more advanced combinations are derived.
We highly recommend that you schedule your lessons close together, especially in the beginning. The less time between lessons means the less you will forget, the less you will need to review, and the more quickly you will reach a confident level in your dancing. Ideal are 2x a week but minimum is once a week.
Private dance lessons can be scheduled anytime we have an instructor available to teach your preferred times, we suggest scheduling your lessons a few weeks in advance in order to ensure you will get that time slot with your favorite dance instructor.
Many of our students use their dancing at wedding receptions, reunions, and company parties. There are also Night Clubs you can go to as well for social dancing. Additionally, if you’re planning a vacation, going on a cruise will usually provide several different themed rooms to dance in. Whether it’s Salsa or Country, there’s a little bit of everything out there. The more you learn, the more you start finding opportunities to dance.
Good dancing is a lifetime investment in fun, social activity, poise, confidence, improved personality, and new friends. Beyond these, dancing is a superb physical conditioner, providing a fun workout alternative to spending hours on a treadmill! Learning to dance will open up a wonderful new world of togetherness and a thriving year-round social calendar.
