Ballroom Dancing

Ballroom can be danced both at a competition level, and also socially.

This type of dancing comes in various forms:

Standard ballroom consists of five dances: Modern Waltz, Quickstep, Viennese waltz, Foxtrot and Tango.

Standard Ballroom Dances have evolved over several hundred years from dancing in the royal courts of Europe, and still to this day have a regal upright deportment. These dances progress around the room in an anticlockwise direction.

Latin Ballroom Dances generally have sinuous hip movements that are synchronised with the half beats between the steps.

Indeed, the dances are generally non-progressive, and the whole emphasis is on the hip movements rather on the steps themselves.

The syncopated action takes some practice to accomplish, and is a considerable challenge for people. Needless to say, it is very good exercise for the lower back and tummy muscles


These dances are danced in couples, and most often in closed position, especially in the standard.

Our dance classes will develop your skills of dancing in both open and close hold, and will help you get rid of your two left feet syndrome, coordinate and synchronize your moves with your partner’s.

Ballroom Dancing is not only for competitions. Social dancing has become widely spread in Australia: there are many studios, clubs and civic centers in Sydney organizing social nights every day of the week.

We have organized the dances in 10 week terms. Please refer to our timetable in Classes/Courses.
