It depends on how often you come to class and practice. With any activity the more you do something the better you become. The average person (attending class and practicing at least twice a week) should be dancing basic turn patterns within two to four weeks depending on their natural ability. We have 6 levels on our syllabus. We have Beginners 1 2, Intermediate 1 2, and Advanced 1 2. The average person attending class 2 to 3 times a week can get through our whole syllabus within a year, (again depending on your natural ability). More Info below.
