Destine Dance is a true member of the Bayside Community. We operate the dance school out of the Elsternwick Park Sports Club: home of the Elwood Bowls Club, Capoeira ACDP Australia, The Wickers Club (bringing cultural events to the community) and the Elsternwick Park Golf Club. When you learn dance with us you connect not just with the dance world, but with the dance community.

The culture
A focus on you and dance
When Destine Dance was founded, it was founded on the belief that dance should be both fun and authentic. That's why "Authentic Dance - Fun Lessons" is our motto.
This motivation came from personal experience where some dance studios and schools would teach students a routine, but not teach them how to connect with music or use their dance skills to improvise. These are key skills for anyone who wants to be able to dance at weddings, parties, and dance events.
That's why our culture is one that focuses on the personal development of each student so that dance can become a social mechanism that allows them to enjoy life more and meet people.

Dance for everyone
- Cost: Dance lessons can be expensive. That's why we offer a number of lesson options. Take a look - you will find some that are ideal for you.
- Time constraints: We know that people have busy schedules. We teach lesson in the evenings 4 days a week. Come to as many or as few as you like. We also have teachers that can give you expert advice on time efficient practice between classes.
- Fear of being judged: Dance is a new experience that can. And you may be afraid of being judged by others. But the dance we teach is dance that was always meant for everyone. And it is meant to be social. It is not as hard as you think. Also, people who are attracted to dance are typically nice people who want to see you dance well. You will be supported.
- Lack of accessibility: We have taught people with hearing impairment, visual impairment and mobility issues. We can help you get all from dance that others do.
- Lack of a dance partner: You do not need a dance partner at Destine Dance. However, you might not feel comfortable dancing with a stranger. If so, then think of dance as a way of becoming more comfortable with new people and making new friends.
- Fear of not being able to keep up: The thought of not being able to keep up with others can be intimidating. That's why we run classes at different levels to suit you.
- Past negative experiences: Have you had a bad experience in a dance class before. I am sorry if you have. It is a shame that the fun of dance is not experienced by people who have had such an experience. At Destine Dance, we want to work with you to overcome any challenge so you can enjoy dance like everyone else.
- Not being interested in the type of dance: We teach a number of styles. So you will find one that suits. Likely you will find many. When you actually try them, you find that each dance provides a window to view on life that at one time or another will be exactly what you want. Be it elegance, sassiness, raw energy, frivolity, exuberance, coolness, smoothness and much more.
Yes! I want to learn to dance.
