- Create a simple booking page with set prices and share it on social media and dance forums
Who pays
Adults who can't reach a local class, people wanting personal coaching, and dancers preparing for a performance.

Hourly fee per private lesson, or a block of lessons paid in advance, with optional paid small-group sessions or workshops.
