How lessons work
Vailatino's method combines technique, awareness and enjoyment. A typical lesson moves through these stages, adapted to you.

02
Review. Going back over earlier steps and combinations, from your second lesson on.
03
Theory. The music, the structure of the dance and the fundamentals behind each movement.
04
Practice. Guided repetition, partner exercises and combinations.
05
Video. Recording short clips to observe details and correct them.
06
Cool-down. Stretching and breathing to recover and release tension.
