What Students Are Saying
Real stories from students who discovered the joy of dance and gained confidence on the floor.
"My boyfriend and I had some dance experience but waltz was completely outside anything we knew. In just 1.5 hours Noe broke down the basics and slowly added patterns until we left feeling like we looked like we knew what we were doing. Thanks Noe!"
Briana G.
Wedding Couple
Waltz
"My boyfriend and I have been taking dance lessons from Noe for about 4 years, following him to his new studio because he is a great teacher and fun to work with. We mostly focus on Latin dances (rumba, salsa) but he's even accommodated requests for hip hop and swing."
Carol H.
Long-term Student
Latin
"Had my first formal Waltz instructions experience with Noe, and it was a very constructive, engaging, and foundation building experience. I've danced on many floors across the country and rarely have I walked out of instruction feeling like I had the tools needed to improve like I have from the lesson with Noe. Highly, recommend."
Anthony L.
Experienced Dancer
Waltz
"I have taken many dance classes from Arthur Murray, Fred Astaire, and private lessons in San Francisco. I am so HAPPY to be dancing again at Level Up Dance Studios with Noe. The classes have been both FUN and challenging for all levels, including beginners. He is professional, encouraging, and supportive of my learning style too."

People Also Ask
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from people starting their dance journey.
The best way to start dancing is with private lessons where you get personalized attention. At Level Up With Noe, we offer 90-minute beginner experiences for $100 where you'll learn fundamentals in a judgment-free environment. No partner or experience needed—just show up ready to have fun!
For most beginners, East Coast Swing or Foxtrot are great starting points because they have simple, repeatable patterns. Swing is fun and energetic, while Foxtrot is smooth and elegant. Both teach you fundamentals like timing, frame, and partner connection that transfer to other dances.
No, you don't need a partner! At Level Up With Noe, about half our students come solo. Your instructor dances with you during lessons, so you get quality practice time. We also welcome couples, friends, or small groups of up to 4 people in our 90-minute experiences.
For social dancing at a wedding, 4-6 private lessons will give you confidence to join the dance floor. For a choreographed first dance, we recommend 4-8 sessions depending on the complexity of your routine and your song length. Most couples feel performance-ready after 6 lessons.
Ballroom dances (Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango) move smoothly around the floor with elegant posture and flowing movements. Latin dances (Cha-Cha, Rumba, Salsa, Bachata) feature more hip action, stationary patterns, and rhythmic, passionate expression. Both are fun—it comes down to the music you love!
Private dance lessons in San Diego typically range from $85-150 per hour. At Level Up With Noe, single lessons are $100, and packages bring the cost down to $85-97 per lesson. Our 90-minute introductory experiences are currently $100 (normally $150), making them the best value for beginners.
Yes! Rhythm is a skill that can be learned, not just an inborn talent. We start with simple exercises to help you feel the beat, then gradually add movement. Many students who thought they 'had no rhythm' surprise themselves within the first few lessons. Patience and practice make all the difference.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in—think athleisure or business casual. Avoid restrictive jeans or very loose clothing. For shoes, smooth-soled dress shoes work best (no sticky rubber soles). Ladies can wear low heels or flats. Most importantly, bring water and be ready to have fun!
