We teach a greater range of styles than other studios in Melbourne:

Swing: Lindy Hop, Rock and Roll, Blues, West Coast Swing - note, we teach authentic dance and do not teach the manufactured 'swing' that you will find at other dance studios

We focus on teaching dance in a way that is authentic. That's why we teach both types of tango: the original Argentine and the international standard. We have had students who have had lessons before travelling to Argentina and been told that they are some of only a few who have learned 'proper' tango beforehand. It's also why we teach a number of swing dances as opposed to the culturally insensitive and bastardised "swing" you will see at other dance studios. We ensure authenticity by aligning with the Australian Dancing society, liaising with traditional dance societies like the Harlem Lindy Hop Dancing Society and interviewing traditional dancers in our Facebook live Dance Talk video series - see an this interview with Katrina Rogers about blues dancing as an example.

We know you are looking for something fun. You might also be looking for a challenge and some exercise, but you still want to enjoy yourself. That's why we always focus on making sure you learn to dance (no matter your level) and get to enjoy the experience. Our teachers all love dance and want to share that love with you. It's this focus on loving dance, as opposed to drilling nothing but technique, that makes our lessons fun.

We are located at the Elsternwick Park Sports Club in Brighton. Close to bus train and tram. And we have plenty of parking on site. Easy to get to from the city, Richmond, Bentleigh, Chadstone, St Kilda and all over Melbourne.

Justin and the entire team at Alegria Dance Centre make you feel welcome from the moment you step foot inside the studio doors. Having started with zero dance experience, I began private dance lessons with Justin to simply learn the basic steps. Being taught by someone who has so much enthusiasm and passion for teaching dance, it was hard not to be inspired to push myself further. So now, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to perform in front of my family and friends at the biannual Gala Balls. I highly recommend Alegria, you won’t be disappointed!

Amazingly talented and fun dance instructors! Justin choreographed our wedding dance and it was spectacular We will be uploading the video as soon as we can. Thank you again Justin and talk to you soon after we get back from our honeymoon! xox Rob & Thea
