At Linden Street Dance, every lesson plan is custom-made for you — we don't try to push you into an expensive program that you only want to learn one part of. We offer instruction for all skill levels, from beginners to Gold, Silver and Professional level dancers.

Private lessons are available from 1-10pm Monday through Friday and 11am-4pm on Saturday. We are closed Sunday. The following group classes are held once a week:

Beginner class: Monday 7:30 - 9 pm

Rhythm: Wednesday 8:30 - 10 pm
Ballroom: Friday 8:30 -10pm (unless otherwise noted; check Calendar)

On Friday nights, the main studio is open for dancing; there is a group lesson at 8:30pm, and students can stay and dance afterward.

Rates are $90 for 45-minute private lessons and $10 for group classes; students who pay for a private lesson are also entitled to one group class free of charge. Reserve 10 private lessons for $850 — a discount of $50 off the regular price. Special offers are available from time to time; current offers include:


Free Group Lesson and Party: For a limited time, group classes on Mon, Wed, and Fri are open and free to everyone. No partner or experience necessary. Just drop in, there's always a beginner class available.


Introductory Group Lesson and Party: $10
For the student who has some experience and wants to meet the instructors and students and get a feel for how we teach group lessons.


How to get Started with Private Lessons


Step 1 - Introductory Private Lesson: $20
Perfect for first-time dancers or for those who feel more comfortable in a one-on-one environment. Meet your teacher, experience a sampling of the dances that we offer and get individualized attention to your steps.

Step 2 - Introduction to Dancing Program: $300
Now that you've tried out your first private lesson, you have an idea of what Ballroom Dancing feels and looks like. This basic program includes four 45 minute private lessons, one group class and one party to teach you the basics over the course of two to four weeks.


Step 3 - Private Lessons : $85 - $90
Once you've started to get some basics down, you'll want to start to look and feel natural and confident on the floor. Your private lessons can be schedule weekly, or more frequently if you wish. Everyone learns at their own pace, and your teacher will be able to adjust and tailor your lessons so that you can learn in the most efficient way, and become as good of a dancer as you want to be. Whether you want to compete, perform, or just dance to have fun, it's all in your hands and we can help you get there.
