This depends on the nature, location and performance wanted for the gig. A fair price that suites all will be quoted when you get in contact.

This depends on the type of event but one or two sets of around 15min + audience interaction time is recommended. (so totalling 20-40 min)

Once it is know who the audiance for the event will be (where they are from, age..) Zara Dance usually chooses an approprite outfit. HOWEVER you can request a certian costume if the dancer is requierd to completly cover up. You can also request a 2-peice costume and even a particular colour if you have a theme at your event. A costume change between sets can also be requested (and is usually standard).

09

Do you teach regular classes?

Currently I do not teach any regular group classes - However I do teach one on one private classes across London - either at your home, a rented studio or at my home studio. If you still would like group classes do email me and I am sure I can reccomend a good friend who teaches in your area.

10

How many classes will I need?

This is an impossible question to answer as it depends on your natrual ability, past experience and level you wish to attain. However, I usually batch my private classes into 8 week terms. By the end of 3 terms I hope to have covered all of the foundation moves.

11

Where will the class / party package take place?

For small private classes (group or one to one) there is the option of my home studio in North East London or your home. ( A mirror will be useful)

For larger groups a studio is reocommended. This can be either provided by you or Zara can arrange one and the cost will be added to the price of the class.

How much are private classes?

This varies on the nature, location and the level

REGULAR (at least once a week) classes at my home start at around £25/hr

Coaching and one off tuition is more.
