Hi Everyone,
I live just outside of Richmond, VA and the only classes I can find in the city itself are through the parks and recreation system-only the one class for beginners. This would work for me for a while, since I also study with one of my MANY videos for at least an hour every day, but I would really like to work with a teacher who is a professional. I'm quite willing to drive to the Tidewater (VA Beach, Hampton, Newport News) area, Fredericksburg or DC for classes, and I've found some online, but I guess since I am so new to this style of dance I'm concerned that I'll end up sinking money into lessons and then not be getting good instruction. Having studied Ballet for 10 years with the same teacher (who I adored) once I find someone I like and feel comfortable with, I'll stay with them as long as they will have me.
So, anyone know an instructor they can recommend? I have a list of names of schools and instructors that I found on the net, but I hesitate to list actual names here as I don't want to cause a problem for the Administrators of the board, but I can PM them.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks!
