Questions from Beginners

I’ve never danced. Can I start with private lessons?

Yes. Private lessons are a gentle place to begin: your first one starts with posture and one simple step, to music, at your own pace.

Do I need a partner?

No. In a private lesson, Koji dances with you. You’re also welcome to come as a couple.

Can I take every lesson in English?

Yes. Koji teaches in English or Japanese, whichever you prefer, so you don’t need any Japanese to start.

How much does a private lesson cost?

Your first lesson is a ¥5,000 trial, 45 minutes. After that, a private lesson is ¥8,000 for 45 minutes, or ¥160,000 for a 20-lesson package: 20 lessons plus 1 free, 21 in total. Prices include tax.

Where is the studio?

Axisセンター本町ビル 3F (Axis Center Honmachi Bldg), 1-7-20 Nishihonmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka: 1 minute from Exit 27 of Honmachi Station on the Yotsubashi Line, and about 6 minutes from the Midosuji Line.

Can you help us prepare a wedding first dance?

Yes. Koji creates a dance just for the two of you and prepares it with you, step by step. Price and number of lessons on request, once we know your plans.
