That's the norm in ballroom studios!. Though some couple do go in together, they're in the minority!. You shouldn't be in the least self-conscious!.
You should take lessons in the ballroom (smooth or standard) dances as well as rhythm/latin!. Not only are they socially useful, there are important cross-training aspects to be learned!. I know at least one local instructor who refuses to take clients who only want to do the latin dances!Www@QuestionHome@Com

When I took ballroom I would just show up and the teacher would pair us up!. We would switch around people because you won't neccesarily be always dancing with "your partner"!. If you only practice with one person, then you won't be able to dance with other people!. I hope things turn out okay for you!

Most ballroom studios do not require a partner!. Your instructor will act as your partner!. Easy place to search from is accessdanceWww@QuestionHome@Com
