Take a private lesson with Diosa!
(recommended for dancers who need one-on-one training or would like to have a private session with friends)
Tailor your lesson to your end goal. You can "boot camp" and get a quick overview of the fundamental moves, learn a choreography, or spend more time on technique; it's up to you! Maybe you would like to just have a fun, interactive class for you and your friends! I can provide hip belts for you and your friends to borrow, or you can use your own. I'll teach you the fundamentals, and we'll combine the moves you learn into a short choreography. You can even video record the final dance as memorabilia for years to come. Book a private lesson or class at my home studio with no travel fees! |
