There is no dress code for our classes. You should wear comfortable clothes. For classes involving stretching (such as jazz), wear loose clothes that you would normally wear to the gym (no tight clothes or skirts). For Latin and Street Latin classes, girls can wear skirts that twirl as they look nice and enhance the movement of the body when you are dancing.
If you are a beginner, you can wear any comfortable shoes. It is best to have shoes that are fitted to your feet such as sports shoes or ballet flats. Thongs are not preferable. Along the track, if you want to get more technical and improve your leg lines, it is always best to buy proper dancing shoes appropriate to the style you are doing (e.g. Jazz/Ballet shoes or Latin shoes). We can advise you on what shoes you would need and the best places to buy them.
Absolutely. We have male and female students in all our classes across all age groups. It is never too late or early to start dancing.
Any dance style will improve your fitness, strength and health in the long term. Dancing is a very good substitute for the gym and you can get fit while you are having fun! Generally, if you want a class which focuses more on body dynamics and toning the body, Jazz, Ballet and Contemporary would be the most appropriate styles for you
All dance genres will improve your flexibility in a certain way. But, if you are to select a particular style which is really focused on stretching, improving your muscle tone and flexibility, Jazz would be the best style for this since there is a stretching session involved in this class.
In any sort of style, you can meet like-minded people as you will have a common interest to dance, whether that dance is Latin, Hip-Hop or Jazz. However, if you are looking for a dance to dance at social events, a partner dance would be more appropriate such as Latin, Ballroom, New Vogue or Street Latin
Everybody is different and the length it will take one to become a good dancer is dependent on the pace they will go at, the level they will begin at and what lessons they will take (group or private). A person's goal will be the most fundamental aspect in determining how far he or she will go and how good he or she will become. Whether you just want to learn a few basic steps, do technical exams or compete in Dancesport will determine how professional and 'good' you will become.
This depends on your musicality and also whether you like to dance solo or with a partner
It depends on how long you have been dancing and if you have stopped dancing for a period of time. It is always good to consult with the teacher before you make this decision
No. All classes have a mixture of male and female students. All students dance with one another in most classes.
If you want to keep on going and advancing with your dancing, or learning techniques and styling, or even if you are thinking of dancing competitively, medal exams can be a great pathway to do that. As a beginner, you can start with a Bronze medal in your preferred style(s) and advance to Silver (Intermediate), Gold (Advanced 1), Gold Bar (Advanced 2) and Gold Star (Advanced 3). You can continue the medal process even after Gold Star to reach the professional level, but most of the students choose to take on the art of Dancesport competitively after the Gold Star medal. All the medals are given by the Australian Dancing Society (ADS) and are recognized world-wide.
There are two major social nights a year which incorporate medal examinations (usually one in June/July and one in December). Apart from that, we organize a social night every two or so months.
