Courses

Both. No matter if you are a leader or follower, solo practice is essential to become better in couple dancing. The material in every lesson is presented and explained in the way so that both roles find it clear and easy to follow. I also use a few tricks, like counting in 4s instead of 8s and leaders can always skip the first 4 counts to join in later. In some courses I show demos for both roles: leaders – starting on the left – and followers – starting on the right. You can follow either one or both, I recommend the latter for more practice. At the end of the day our footwork is not that different. And the more you practice the faster you improve.

If you are a beginner, then I recommend to start with the course “Brush up your basic” (from Miscellaneous section). After studying it you can move on to the other courses. In every course the classes start with the simplest ones and gradually progress.
If you are an intermediate or advanced level, then you can start with any course depending on what you find interesting or relevant to practice. Even the course “Brush up your basic” can be found useful to hone certain skills.
If you are a teacher, then you might find all the courses useful as you can use the material there to give you many inspiring ideas and exercises for your local classes.

No, for now the lessons are only available in the online streaming format.

Yes, you can do it anytime in your personal account. The membership will remain active until the end of the current subscription. Once cancelled, your user account will remain active but limited to a basic level. We will occasionally reach out to you with updates, offers and other news. If you want to completely shut down your account just send us an email and we’ll remove you from all mailing lists and permanently erase your account.

You can do it anytime in your personal account. Many dancers choose longer-term options because they offer a lower monthly price and extra support from Olga along the way (personalised video feedback session, practice plan, free online/ offline private). When you upgrade, your payment will be prorated – the system will take into consideration how much you have already paid and automatically reduce the price.

If you are going on holiday, have a particularly busy work schedule, or are unable to practice due to health reasons, you can pause your subscription for 1 month (as a 6- month subscriber) or for 2 months (1 + 1 or 2 in a row).

To request a pause, simply contact us via the Contact Form and let us know the date you’d like your subscription to be placed on hold.

Your membership will resume automatically after 1 or 2 months (as you chose it) and you’ll receive the notification confirming that your subscription has been reactivated.

First of all they are for DEMOnstration so that you can see the way I practice the moves and variations. Secondly, this is the invitation to DRILL the material and can be used like good old aerobics classes: you just stand up and follow me, copying the moves. I filmed a lot of different demo drills, shorter and longer. Some demo drills start with the left foot, some with the right. Practice regularly just a few minutes and you will see the results soon.

A personalised practice plan (PPP) is included in a 6- and 12-month subscription package. You submit a video of your dancing of up to 3 min long and the description of your dance goals. After the registration, you will get an email with the details on how to do it. Olga will then reach you to schedule a 30-min Zoom meeting to discuss your goals and recommend a practice plan to help you learn and progress.

A free private is included in a 12-month subscription. You can get it in 2 different forms. The first one is a 30-min private in person. You can check which events Olga will be during the year here and if you happen to go there too, then contact her via mail / FB to schedule a private. If you are not going to any events where Olga will be teaching, you can have a 30-min online private. As a recommendation, you might want to do a private some time after you get a PPP (Personalised Practice Plan) from Olga. As you can use it like a follow-up on your progress.

You get a free personalised feedback session and an offline/ online private from Olga as a part of your 6 or 12 month subscription. If you need more feedback, or would like to add more coaching, you are welcome to email Olga via the contact form.
