Does it take a long time to learn to dance?

Dancing, like any physical activity that requires coordination, takes some time to do well. Many factors play a key role, such as past dance experience, physical condition, how many dances you want to learn, how close together you take your lessons, how often you practice and do your homework (yes, there is homework), and how good you want to be. You will get a better idea after your first lessons. Remember, it is a journey so it is one step at a time, one day at a time.
