What We Do

We don’t just teach routines…

Sure, we do that too! But we believe the true essence of dance is in the ability to freestyle and be guided by both the rhythm and the partner.

Dance is movement TO music because the music dictates how we move. You wouldn’t move slowly to music that was highly energetic, just like you wouldn’t cut a rug to a slow ballad.

The dance floor is the instrument played by the dancer and when combined with music, represents the true meaning of the word harmony. Each instrument and arrangement evoke a sense of emotion and tells a story.

Dance and music are such an important part of our lives, especially for children; it helps develop physical strength in our bodies, as well as building coordination and memory. It also inspires creativity, encourages freedom of expression and has long been proven to improve mental health, fitness and state of mind.

So let us guide you through all the various styles, rhythms and characters that give ballroom dance its name, and discover why it is, and has always been, one of the most popular styles of dance in the world.

Group Classes

Varying levels from beginner to advanced, our weekly group classes are a mixture of all different styles aimed at dancing socially; learning to lead and follow and understanding the basic character and rhythms of each dance. No partner or experience necessary!

Social Dancing

Socialise and practice your dancing with other students and staff. While some previous experience is recommended, we welcome all to our social dances, especially if you are keen to learn as you go!

Technical Awards

Once you’ve mastered the basics, this is the best way to progress and track your learning. Classes are style specific, with emphasis on correct action and technique. Classes run on a set schedule with an assessment at the completion of the Semester. Technical awards are offered in the Standard (Modern), New Vogue and Latin American styles.

Private Lessons

The best way to learn what you want, when you want. Learn at your own pace, with the teacher of your choice. Private lessons are highly recommended for Technical Award students, and essential for competitive couples or showcase performers.

Competition Lessons

If competition has always piqued your interest, then let us help you be ‘competition ready.’ Our qualified Dancesport coaches will arm you with the tools for a successful career in competition.

Wedding Dance

The first dance is a long-standing tradition at any wedding. Let us choreograph the perfect first dance for your special day to the song of your choice. We can even include the wedding party too!

Showcase & Performance Awards

Perform the dance of your choice, to your selection of music with your teacher, in full costume and under lights at one of our Showcase Evenings!

A Showcase is open to all, and can be performed by a student of any level, but without critique, as compared to a Performance Award which is only available to those students who are post-Gold level in their Technical Awards. Performance Awards include a technical and syllabus requirement as well as critique from an adjudicator.

A minimum lesson requirement is needed for all Showcase performances.

Kids Dance Classes

Our developmentally designed kids classes start as young as 18months old. Our classes are a safe and welcoming environment for kids to build confidence, imagination, body awareness and age appropriate gross motor skills, including jumping, skipping, balance, strength, coordination and control. With a focus on FUN and engagement, children learn the fundamentals of movement, music and rhythm, whilst developing social skills, forming friendships and beginning their lifelong love of dance.
