No, you do not need to bring a partner to class. We encourage rotating partners during classes to practice leading and following with different partners. If you are planning on attending with a friend or partner, you are more than welcome to remain with them for the duration of the class – just let your instructor know. Some of our classes are non-partnered (solo) such as Samba.

For most classes, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement.

We recommend wearing supportive shoes with a smooth sole that will allow you to pivot and turn easily. Thongs or sandal type shoes that fly off your feet easily are not recommended. If you would like to purchase dance shoes, we highly recommend Vivaz Dance Shoes. Located in Sydney with customers around the world they have exceptional designs, quality and customer service. For 15% discount, feel free to use our discount code LG15.

If you are unsure what shoe to buy, have a chat with one of our instructors in class and they can point you in the right direction.

Check out our pricing information.

Yes, we regularly host social dance parties both at our dance studio and venues across Adelaide where you can practice your dance skills and meet other dancers in the community. We highly recommend you follow our Facebook page where we post all our upcoming events.

This can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as your natural abilities, the amount of time and effort you are willing to dedicate to practice, and the type of dance you are learning. In general, it can take several months to a year or more of consistent practice to develop a solid foundation of skills and become proficient in a particular style of dance

Many of our students have achieved optimal results through a combination of attending at least 2 group classes per week, practicing their moves out socially at our parties and events on a regular basis and booking in private lessons throughout the year.

We offer regular opportunities to learn from interstate and international guest instructors throughout the year at special workshops and bootcamps. Students also have the opportunity to perform at our showcase events twice a year. Performing or competing can bring out the best in some students who love working towards a specific goal. At the end of a performance course, students always feel much more confident and polished.

The most important thing is to have a passion for dance and to enjoy the journey of learning and improving. Consistent practice and a willingness to learn and take constructive criticism can go a long way in improving your dance skills and becoming the dancer you want to be.
