However, I was wondering how I should progress with lessons. For  instance, should I start out with group or private? More  importantly, for how long should I begin with practice and  instruction per day, how many days per week, etc.

  I would really like to get a quick start and everything, taking  lessons for as long as possible at a high frequency, but since I've  never done any of the ballet warm-ups and the like I'm not sure what  a reasonable limit would be.

  Thank you, Eric
