4worldlovers: Founded in 2005, MLD is one of Melbourne’s longest running, most established and most experienced Latin dance schools in Melbourne. The founding director Liz was a pioneer of both LA Salsa and Bachata in Melbourne.

At MLD, we’re all about teaching our students the correct technique from the start with lots of attention to detail. It’s our thing. But beyond being meticulous about teaching our students well, above all, MLD is a super friendly and fun place to learn Latin dance in Melbourne! We are so proud of how uber lovely and friendly our students are and the fun, warm and welcoming family vibe at the studio!

We welcome students of all levels from absolute beginners to advanced dancers!


Come with a friend or come alone – you don’t need to come with a partner!

Among all the dance schools I have been to, MLD has far been the best. I have tried a few and if your a Novice and you have set yourself for some real dancing skills, this place is where it's at. Liz and her dance teachers are always on point in lending you the best skills and individual critique.


The best LA Salsa school in Melbourne! I give full credit to MLD for bringing technique to my dancing, which looking back to a year ago was absolutely terrible! There is a strong focus on technical work here and provides a lovely environment to learn in across multiple levels. Whether you want to start dancing or go into performing MLD is for you, especially if you want to learn good dancing technique and have fun!

I attended Melbourne Latin dance as many others do, solo. Taking dance classes at MLD has done many things for me: I've made some great friends, its increased my confidence massively in social situations where I need to bust some moves, its greatly improved my life. It creates a community that you regularly see and become part of your life. I love the structured 8 week programs which mean that you are progressing each week and can see real results. Liz and James run a great studio, I can't thank them enough for running such a great class and being so in love with their work and MLD family.

Love coming to classes here. Such a great and welcoming environment. Classes are taught perfectly depending on your skill level and everyone is really friendly and accepting. Doing classes on Monday nights has made it one of my favourite days of the week. Definitely recommend!

I am good at a lot of things, most things actually, but the language of dance has never been in my vocabulary. I was tricked into attending my first salsa class at MLD – my girlfriend told me we were going out for meatballs. Once I was trapped inside the studio, I managed to fumble my way through the warm up exercises with all of the ligaments in my hip still intact. And then something clicked (metaphorically). I can only describe the experience as a transformative self-awakening of the artistic sort. That was six months ago, and I’m here today with a message. To all of the 6’3’’ bearded construction workers out there who want to buy unisex dance shoes – the "M" in MLD stands for MEN. You are not alone.

Liz and James are amazing teachers. The classes are super fun, full of laughs and a great way to meet new people.

James and Liz are great, as a complete beginner 8 weeks ago, my partner and I have now signed up to Salsa Showcase at the end of this term. Teaching is informative and fun.

MLD is like a family, both Liz and James take a lot of passion in teaching and watching their students grown and better their dancing skills. I would highly recommend it for salsa and bachata classes
