I think CCs are also going through a lot of budget cuts in CA so many of these "extras" were either cut or charged market-rate to bring in some cash flow for the school.

This also depends class-to-class - I've taken some classes where a fair number of couples stayed together (also works for you if there are more women than men in the class), but in other classes everyone rotated and it would seem strange if you're the only non-rotating couple. IMHO, you'll probably adapt to different styles faster and become a more responsive follow if you rotate... and I know if I just dance with CB we'll start arguing about who's doing what right or wrong. ;) I think you can still take group classes – just let the instructors you know prefer to stay together and not rotate.

BF and I wanted to learn together, but just that: we wanted to learn together. Private lessons are so much more expensive than regular classes (where you rotate partners). I am taking a pole-dancing class...does that even count as a form of dance? I'm actually looking to get into Salsa. BF and I wanted to learn together, but just that: we wanted to learn together.
