I've had 2 so far, one last summer with Jordan after just a few wcs classes, the other in april with Robert Royston.
Both of them transformed my dancing, although I had a very, very steep and painful learning curve after the first one. But I certainly don't regret it, as they've both changed my dancing and my understanding of the dance no end. I've chosen leader teachers in both instances because I wanted to work on connection and how I feel as a (wcs) follow, but I will soon have a private with a follow teacher for styling (you've guessed it'll be Tatiana ).
I chose Jordan because he was the first pro I came accross, and now I will have other privates with him at some point because I believe his technique and teaching are amazingly sharp, and he is also such an inspiring dancer.
I chose Robert after attending a few classes at Weston, because he can explain the mecanics of dance and body movement in a way that I had never come accross before . That suits my scientific brain and my need to understand the theory behind the movement.
I am considering a private with Kyle at some point, because amongs all the pros I have seen I admire his style the most, and having had one dance with him I thought he was the best pro I danced with (or the most compatible with me for now).
So what I'm looking for in a private is technique and inspiration.
However I found that it takes me several months of dancing (also because there's little opportunity for me to practice here) to really absorb all the points that were raised and fix some of them (I suspect a lifetime wouldn't enough to fix all of them ).
