Private lessons · One or two dancers

Inside a private lesson

Bring a song you love. In your first lesson, we’ll listen for the beat and put a couple of steps together. You don’t need to know how to dance before you come in.

If you’re an experienced dancer, bring me your questions. We can slow down a turn or work on the timing between two steps so the movement feels smoother and more comfortable.

  1. Say yes when someone asks.

    If you usually sit out the first song, come on your own and I’ll be your partner. We’ll practice finding the beat, starting a dance, and picking it up again when you miss a step.

  2. Surprise your partner.

    Bring a song the two of you love. We can work on a simple lead and a turn, so the next time it comes on, you can take their hand and ask them to dance.

  3. Dance on your next trip.

    Picture the band playing on your cruise, or a little dance floor you find on vacation. Come solo or together. We’ll practice a few steps you can remember and use when that moment comes.

Wedding dance
lessons

When your song starts on your wedding day, how do you want those first few moments to feel? If you picture holding each other and sharing one easy turn, I can help you do just that. If you’d love a dance choreographed to your song, we can build it together.

You’re welcome even if you’ve never danced together. I also work with parents and their children on wedding dances. Send me your date and, if you have one, your song.

Amielle Tutelman
Founder and instructor

Hi, I’m Amielle.

Before opening Zinnia in Solon, I spent four years living, training, teaching, and competing in Italy.

I love watching a student discover something they didn’t know they could do. Sometimes it’s remembering a new step. Sometimes it’s feeling comfortable enough to ask someone to dance.

I teach private lessons and small groups for children and adults. We can spend a whole lesson on the question you came in with, or start with your very first step.
