That entirely depends on the person(s). We can tell you the pros and cons of each... Private lessons are generally considered better because you can schedule them at your convenience and they focus only on you. So, you can learn at your own speed and focus on your dance preferences. The drawback is private lessons are the most expensive way to learn. Group lessons are a more affordable option to learn. However, you are required to be available when the class is running, you must focus on the dance(s) being offered and you can only learn as fast as the slowest student in class.
