We had a whole bunch of lessons with them, but that's mostly because we didn't practice at all outside of the classroom. My husband was initially frustrated by how tough it was; we've never taken lessons together or separately. However, by the end he felt pretty confident with all of the steps. We really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the fact that we just learned a whole bunch of steps and turns and could use them as we pleased. My husband even totally went crazy with all sorts of steps with his mom during their dance!
