First dance lessons
for Garrett Park families.
A first lesson is a chance to understand the program and meet the teacher, not a reason to guess the right level. MyDance DC offers solo Ballroom and Latin at Bender JCC in Rockville. Garrett Park families can use this guide to prepare a useful first inquiry.

A CONSIDERED FIRST LESSON
Tell the teacher about the dancer
Share the child’s age, any previous dance experience and what interests them about learning. Mention whether the aim is simply trying dance, building a skill or exploring performance goals.
Read about Alina Sharipova’s teaching approach and look at real studio photographs. A clear picture of the learning environment helps you decide what to ask before arranging a visit.
QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Confirm the practical details before buying anything
Ask the studio what clothing and footwear suit the proposed first lesson. Do not purchase specialist dancewear based only on a general web checklist.
Confirm the date, time, availability, entrance and trial arrangements. The inquiry form prepares an email for you to review and send; it does not automatically reserve a place.
