We charge $85 per 55 minutes at my studio, and all the instructors are professional competitors. We are aknowledged as being the best teachers in the area. The price range around here (Upstate New York) is $65-$85 per 55 minutes.

Yay! Another person from Holland

At my studio they charge 30 euros for a private lesson (full hour) by a well-trained teacher. (Last time I checked euros and dollars were almost 1:1.)

Private Dance Lessons

I live in a mid-sized city in a rural state (i.e., we're the biggest city around). There are few ballroom instructors, and not a lot of demand. One couple I know teach ballroom at the local university, they've had professional training and done some competitions, though nothing in what you might call the "major leagues." They provide private lessons for $40/hr.

Here in L.A. the going rate for a well-trained instructor is about $60.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for the information. I had a feeling the $90 fee asked by a studio for instruction by people who have never competed was too high. Glad I didn't go for it.

In the tri-state area, lessons seem to range from $55-75/hr.

Prices for Private Dance Lessons

I'm from a mid-size town in NE PA where lessons go for around $35/full hour. The instructor is accomplished and has won several championships, but is not one of the top world class dancers. She's good at teaching and has a great sense of music, so that the routines she puts together are always meshed to the music and have lots of audience appeal. Two other instructors from whom I take lessons in the Philadelphia area charge $55 and $60 respectively. The one charging $55 is world champion, the one charging $60 is currently competing all over the world.~

Can you recommend any instructors in the Philadelphia area?

Thanks,
