What’s stopping you?
“I have never danced before.”
Good. That is who this pass is designed for. Beginner classes run across every style, and the people in them are also beginners. We have 25 years experience getting adults started dancing from scratch across a huge range of styles.
“I am too old, or not fit enough, or the wrong shape.”
Our adult students range in age from their twenties to their seventies (and beyond!). All levels, all bodies. Classes are self-paced, so you choose where to start and when to move on when you are ready. Nobody is going to put you somewhere you are not comfortable.
“I used to dance, and I am worried I have lost it.”
It comes back faster than you expect. Usually by the second class you’ll start to see the shift. The awkward part is the first twenty minutes of the first class, and then your body remembers.
Four steps, and five minutes is all it takes!
Set up your account
Bookings for all passes run through our online portal, so you will need to setup an account before you buy your First Timer Pass. Your name, email and phone number. It takes about two minutes and lets you book and manage classes yourself from then on.

Turn up
Arrive ten minutes early so you can easily find the studio for your first class. Come up to reception on the first floor and our friendly staff will assist you to find your class. Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in, bring a water bottle, bare feet or trainers depending on the style. That is everything.
Over 80 adult classes a week!
Ballet. Le Bop Modern Jive. Contemporary. Jazz. Hip hop. Tap. Lyrical. Commercial. Breaking. Musical theatre.
Nine studios onsite – upstairs, 318 Chapel Street (enter via Carlton St), running from early morning to late evening, seven days a week. Beginner through advanced in most styles.
Your six classes can be used for six different styles if you want. Pro Tip: lots of people use the pass to work out what they actually like.
What actually happens…
Arrive about ten minutes early and come up to reception. Our friendly staff will mark you off and then assist you to the right studio and help orientate you.
Your teacher will ask who’s new. More hands go up than you might think.
You warm up together, then learn a short sequence, broken down step by step, at a pace that assumes nobody’s seen it before. You’ll pick up some of it and lose some of it. That’s how it goes for everyone in the room, including the ones who look like they know what they’re doing.
And then it’s done, and you feel better than when you walked in. That’s the bit that brings people back.
From our students
“I didn’t realise how much I rely on dance for not just my physical health but my mental health. I know dance benefits me, I just now have an even greater understanding of the need it fills in my life.”
— Arabella
“Absolutely love this dance studio. The staff is incredibly friendly, always welcoming, and ready to help with anything you need. The variety of classes is insane; there’s something for everyone, from beginners to advanced dancers, and every style you can think of. The teachers are beyond amazing, knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to helping students grow.”
— Anna

Start with anything labelled beginner. If you are still unsure, call 03 9529 3949 or ask at the desk and we will help you find your style and level.
What should I wear?
Something you can move in. Leggings or shorts and a T-shirt is fine. Bare feet for contemporary and lyrical; trainers for hip-hop and commercial; ballet shoes for ballet if you have them; socks if you do not.

No. Adult classes are casual. Book what suits your week and change it whenever you like.
