Private Lessons:
Private lessons are taught in the Kanawha City section of Charleston. Private Lessons are for 1 or 2 people and are $45/hour. If two couples wish to take private lessons during the same hour, the cost would be $90/hour. Contact us today at 304-984-1939 or at info@wvdance.net to learn how you can take private lessons from us. Please Note our new policy on Cancellation of Private Lessons: (Policy effective June 18, 2009). If you schedule a private lesson with us and cancel your lesson within 24 hours of your lesson, or you do not show up for your lesson (for whatever reason), you will owe 50% of the cost of your lesson. For example, if the cost of your scheduled private lesson was $50, you will owe $25. (Note that this policy does not apply to group lessons. Please note that if you prepay for a group lesson and miss the group lesson, you forfeit the entire amount of the group lesson that you miss. For example, if you pay for a package of 6 weeks of lessons, and you miss one of the weeks of lessons, you forfeit the amount of the one lesson you missed (but you do not forfeit the amount of the other lessons and you can still come to the remaining lessons.)
