Dance Styles


Ballroom

There are 5 dances which fall under the 'ballroom' category; waltz, tango, viennese waltz, foxtrot and quickstep.

Unlike the Latin American and New Vogue dance styles, all of the Ballroom dances remain in the traditional Ballroom hold, making them perfect for couples to learn.

From the beautiful and romantic modern waltz through to the passionate and fiery tango, there is something in the Ballroom dance style for everyone!

We offer tuition in all 5 of the Ballroom dances for a variety of dance levels through our Saturday morning children's classes, our weekly adult dance classes, and also through private lesson arrangements.

Please contact the studio for more information on what dances are covered in our classes, or if interested in arranging a private lesson.


Latin American

The Latin American style includes the following 5 dances; samba, cha cha, rumba, paso doble and jive.

The Latin American dance style is a very popular dance style. Most dances in the Latin American style are faster than those in the standard and New Vogue dance styles, and are great fun for social dancers, medalists and competitors alike.

Whether you want to learn to jive to the classic rock and roll hits, or slow things down and to enjoy a nice rumba, there's something in the Latin American dance style for everyone!

We offer tuition in all 5 of the Latin American dances for a variety of dance levels through our Saturday morning children's classes, our weekly adult dance classes, and also through private lesson arrangements. We also run Street Latin classes (Salsa, Merengue and Bachata) on Friday Nights, as well as Latino Party Nights with a live band.

Please contact the studio for more information on what dances are covered in our classes, or if interested in arranging a private lesson.


New Vogue

The New Vogue style covers many different dances including the Merrilyn, Carousel, Swing Waltz, Barclay Blues, Tangoette and La Bomba.

New Vogue is a dance style that is unique to Australia, with many of the dances originating from Victoria.

Whilst there are many different New Vogue dances to learn, what makes this style different to both the Standard and Latin American styles is that each dance has a specific pattern that everyone must dance. The music is phrased, meaning that everyone dances the same pattern at the same time in each of the dances, and this makes the New Vogue style fun and very popular socially.

All of the dances in the New Vogue style are danced to the following rhythms, depending on the dance; waltz, tango, foxtrot or march.

New Vogue dancing is extremely popular, with many dancers looking to learn as many of these dances as possible. Each dance is relatively short in length, allowing dancers to learn the patterns relatively quickly.

From the beautiful Twilight Waltz through to the powerful Tango Terrific, there is something in this style for everyone to enjoy!

We offer tuition in all of the New Vogue dances for a variety of dance levels through our Saturday morning children's classes, our weekly adult dance classes, and also through private lesson arrangements.

Please contact the studio for more information on what dances are covered in our classes, or if interested in arranging a private lesson.


Modern Sequence

There are a variety of dances which fall under the 'modern sequence' style, including the Engagement Waltz, the Czardas Tango, President's Daughters Waltz and the Acer Foxtrot.

Modern Sequence dances, like those in the New Vogue dance style, are dances which follow a specific pattern and are danced to phrased music.

The dances in this category, such as the Engagement Waltz, Czardas Tango and the Acer foxtrot, follow the rhythms danced in the 'ballroom' section; waltz, tango, foxtrot and quickstep.

The dances in this style are very popular socially, as each dance has a set number of steps, so no matter where you learn these dances, the patterns will always remain the same.

We offer tuition in all of the Modern Sequence dances for a variety of dance levels through our weekly adult dance classes, and also through private lesson arrangements.

Please contact the studio for more information on what dances are covered in our classes, or if interested in arranging a private lesson.
