Learn To Dance

At Rio Dance Studio’s you can learn any or all of the following styles through our dance classes held at our dancing schools here in Balwyn and Prahran.

Latin dancing lessons: Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba and Jive

This is one of the most popular dance styles taught throughout our studios.  Latin is a favourite to learn due to the catchy rhythms of the music and the great feeling you get from moving your body to the beat.

Club Latin dancing lessons: Salsa, Merengue, Mambo

Club latin, also known as Street Latin, is a fun and relaxed  style of dance that has become culture in clubs around the world – even gymnasiums base some of their exercise programmes on dances such as Salsa or Mambo – it’s a great way to get fit!  Club Latin is quick and easy to learn and a terrific way for all age groups to get familiar with dancing together as couples.

Modern Ballroom dancing lessons: Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango and Quickstep

This is the more formal style of dancing used at many social occasions such as weddings, dinner dances and debutant balls.  Ballroom dancing is a great way to develop poise and posture, so if you enjoy the nostalgic sounds of Frank Sinatra, Michael Bubble` and Harry Connick Jnr. for example then you’ll love learning these classics of the ballroom.

Tango Argentino dancing lessons:

This traditional and popular dance originating in Argentina has enjoyed a huge revival  both here in Melbourne and across Australia over the recent years – so much so that many, bars and clubs around town run Tango nights. At Rio Dance Studio you can learn anything from the very basics to the more intricate moves of this beautiful dance.

Rock N’ Roll dancing lessons:

An oldie but a goodie – we can teach you to dance to those favourite Rock N’ Roll hits of the sixties and equip you with the various lead/follow techniques you need to become a skilled partner to dance with.
