Is it hard to learn to dance?
Every one of our students always says it is easier than they thought it would be!  Even those who claim to have two left feet can become great dancers if they want to enough.  As Fred Astaire said, "Some people seem to feel good dancers are born. But all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained."
