Just drop in and dance.

✨ BEGIN WITH US ✨

Want to dance, but not quite sure where to begin?

This is for you. 💗

Our new Adult Beginners Program has been created specifically for complete beginners, or anyone returning to dance after some time away.

No experience needed.
No need to already “know how to dance.”
And absolutely no expectation that you’ll walk through the door knowing what you’re doing.

That’s what we’re here for.

Over six weeks, we’ll start slowly, break everything down and build your skills, confidence and choreography week by week.

Choose your vibe:

⭐ BEGINNER HEELS
Wednesdays 6pm with Claire
Learn heels technique, walking, balance, body control, styling, floorwork and a complete beginner heels routine.

⭐ BEGINNER COMMERCIAL
Wednesdays 7pm with Deena
Build your dance foundations through fun, feminine commercial choreography, musicality, grooves, body control and styling.

And if you’d rather just dip your toe in first…

💗 FEEL GOOD FRIDAYS
Fridays 10am with Claire
A relaxed, beginner-friendly open class. Come when you can, dance for an hour and leave feeling good. $20.

6-week courses | $119
📅 23 September – 30 October
📅 4 November – 11 December

You don’t have to get fit first.
You don’t have to become more confident first.
You don’t have to wait until you feel “ready.”

You begin here.

Dance. Begin. Belong. 💗

Whether you’re new to heels, want to refine your technique, or simply want to feel stronger and more confident in the way you move, this is where you build it. ❤️‍🔥
