Fun, Friendly and Safe Venues

Our Social Venues have been specifically selected for their relaxed and friendly feel.  You can enjoy a meal, drink and other social activities as well as dancing.  Feel free to bring your friends along that dont dance, they can eat, drink and relax in the same environment while you learn.

DANCE101 teaches mainly Salsa & Latin American (unless otherwise stated).  Other dance styles taught are Swing, Argentine Tango and Ballroom.  We have developed our own Ladies Latin Dance Program, now in six locations, it's taking Melbourne by storm!

All classes are run on a casual basis there is no need to book. You don't need a partner and you certainly don't need to know how to dance.

What to wear? Wear comfortable shoes that will stay on your foot when turning etc. Check out our Funky Dance Gear Page if you are ready to buy dance shoes Not sure which level is for you? Click here for an explanation of the different levels

    Group classes are held in RSL, clubs or funky bars so you can relax and enjoy a meal and a drink before you dance.  We hand select our venues for their friendly atmosphere and warm relaxed feel.  We realise dancing can be a nervous experience for alot of people, so we avoid mirrors, pompous dance teachers and sterile environments!
    • No partner required
    • No experience required
    • No bookings required
    • Non-intimidating environments
    • Friendly & Approachable teachers
    Dance Classes - Groups

    Classes are around 55 minutes duration, we try to allow 5-10 minutes between classes, for drinking, socializing and chatting.  Food and drink prices in our RSL's are fantastic, also our class prices are cheaper in these venues, so take advantage of the wonderful RSL feel, its safe, friendly and never sleazy!

    Group classes have been designed to fit in with your leisure time.  The times have been specifically selected so that you have enough time to finish your working day and then head out for some fun and activity instead of sitting on that couch!!!
