Move your body, move your feet. Sway and swing and samba with the rest of Brisbane as we all go dance crazy. And there’s a dance type to suit all interests, including swing, latin, tap, ballroom and belly dancing. Sign up for a class, or simply join in with the dancing on the streets.

Dance events, classes and tuition
Brisbane has hundreds of dance studios, thousands of lesson times and almost endless options to dance for fun, for competition or for fitness.

Check out the Brisbane City Council's Active Parks program and find dance classes and workshops offered for free in parks all over Brisbane. You will get an introduction to many different styles of dance, including Ethiopian dance workshops, Indian Bollywood classes or South Pacific music and dance. Check the calendar regularly for upcoming options.

The ourbrisbane.com directory lists dance venues and places that offer dancing tuition. This list is not exhaustive - although you will be exhausted if you dance in them all…

The directory also lists Brisbane’s dancing venues and clubs; and includes many of Brisbane’s dance studios but we know we don’t have them all listed just yet. If you would like your dance studio to have a listing, enter the details now. It’s a simple matter of registering and typing in the details.

Ballroom dancing
Be part of the glittering and glamorous world of ballroom dancing. Learn the waltz, the foxtrot, quickstep and more.

Planet Ballroom in Albion provides information about ‘dancesport’ – what it is and how you can get involved.
Belly dancing
Learn this ancient form of female dancing from the Middle East.

Academy of Middle Eastern Dance is one of Brisbane’s largest belly dancing schools.
Find other Belly Dancing classes in our directory.
Bollywood / Indian dancing
The glamour and celebration of Mumbai movies are now fast conquering the Western world.

Bollywood Dreams® teaches Bollywood dance (popular dance form of Indian mainstream movies). Bollywood Dreams Dance School offers Beginners and Advanced Bollywood dance sessions in different places across Brisbane.

Colonial dancing
Colonial dancing has its origins in Australia’s convict days. Learn the dances as they are called out.

The Queensland Colonial and Heritage Dancers promote and preserve the dances done in the early days of Australian history and those of today at Bush Dances and Colonial Balls.
Hip-hop and funk
Love the hip-hop style of dance? Then you’ve probably heard of Raw Metal, one of Brisbane’s most well-known dance exports. They perform hip-hop funk, acrobatics and tap dancing in an urban, contemporary style. Now you can learn to dance like them at workshops and classes.

Jive, swing and rock’n’roll
Great music, fast moves and fun times means jive, swing and rock’n’roll dancing are very popular in Brisbane. Numerous places offer lessons, including:

Swing Dance Brisbane
Jill’s Jive
Le step
To get a feel for how popular this dance form is, take a peek and get involved in the South East Queensland Swing Group.

Latin
Salsa
Salsa or Latin dancing is a hugely popular dance style.

One of the biggest Latin dance schools is Rio Rhythmics at West End.

Lenny and Mio, the instructors at Vida Latina Productions run the Dance Studio at Milton.
Other great latin dance schools include Nightmoves Dance Company and Latin X.
Groove to the salsa rhythms and feel the spontaneity of dancing in the street. Join in with Salsa on Little Stanley Street, every Friday night in 2007 from 7pm – 10pm. Don’t be shy – join in!
Zouk
Zouk, meaning "party", is a Latin dance style. Elegant and energetic, Zouk is quickly becoming one of the most popular social Latin dance styles. The music emerges from the French Caribbean, whilst the dance emerges from Brazil.

There are a number of schools in Brisbane teaching Zouk.
Check out Zouk Nights for a free trial class.
Smooth Latin Groove provides easy to learn Zouk instruction as well as other Latin dances.
Line dancing

There’s more to line dancing than achy-breaky heart or boot-scootin’ boogie. No partner required and cowboy hats aren’t essential either.
Find a line dancing class near you.
Pole dancing
Girls - learn pole dancing like a pro. Classes run in Brisbane for women only and apparently it is great for upper body strength and toned legs.

Polestars offer a two hour taster class or a six week course. The website gives lots of details including the need to wear short shorts and high heel boots.
Pole Dancing Classes offers lessons in a safe, clean and friendly gym environment.
Dancing for kids
Dancing for children can teach them rhythm, coordination, posture and confidence, and it’s fun too. Brisbane has literally hundreds of dancing schools for children and it's impossible to list them all here. But here’s a few tips:
Classes are often in church halls, school grounds or community centres.
Keep an eye on community noticeboards in your local area or ads in the local paper for contact details to your nearby dance school.
Since there is not a single organising body for children’s dance, it may help to ask for recommendations from other parents
If your child wants to learn dancing (they can begin from age four), you can check that the teacher is registered with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) or the Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dance (Comdance).
Teachers of children’s dance need to have a blue card.
If you run a dance studio that offers classes for children, please enter your details in our directory so that the parents of Brisbane can find you online.
Other interesting dance links
Dance wear stores in Brisbane. Check our directory for listings of places to buy leotards, tights and specialty dancing shoes.

Check whether dance classes are offered in Brisbane City Council’s recreation programs (such as RAW and Chill Out).
Due to the number of dance styles and popularity of the sport, we aren't able to cover ALL aspects of dancing in Brisbane. Our apologies to those we haven’t covered, including Irish dancing, clogging, indigenous dancing, folk, and many more.
