Finding an instructor is usually not that hard. You can often find advertisements for classes in newspapers and many times their are flyers hung in public locations when signups are underway. Many fitness centers and community recreation centers offer these types of dance classes.

Class prices usually run low with a per class charge being the norm. This method means you will only play for classes you are in attendance. Some instructors may ask their students to pay a set amount upfront and this will most often cover the cost of a predetermined number of classes. When you can not attend a class, it will not be counted against the total you have paid. For example, a payment for 10 classes would mean you would have to actually attend ten classes before any more money was due.

You can probably find listings for local dance teachers online as well. Most instructors actually own their own studios so they are offering sign ups for a variety of different classes.

Of course, there are other things you might learn as well. Sometimes, instructors discuss the history of the art form and how cultural influences have effected it.
