Why Destine Dance

Ranked No.1 in Melbourne

We teach dance better than else does

How do you know Destine Dance is best?
There are many dance studios around and all of them staffed by teachers skilled and trained in ballroom dance (and other styles). We understand that so it is fair for you to ask why you should learn at Destine Dance, and not another dance studio. This page will explain just why. Make sure you read to the end about how other organisations have come to us because of our skills.

Our philosophy - teacher first dancer second 
We know that you want to become a great dancer. We know that want you learn to dance properly.  And we know that you want it to be fun and enjoyable while you do so. Achieving this balance of fun and progression when you are at Destine Dance is our goal. The key to this is our staff. At Destine Dance we select people based on their ability to teach you dance in a way that is both fun and effective. Knowing how to dance is just the beginning. Knowing how to help other people become the best dancer they can be and keeping it fun lesson after lesson is what separates the teachers that work here from the rest. And that's what makes us the best dance studio for you. At Destine Dance, your dance lessons will make you improve, the dance lessons are fun, the dance lessons teach you authentic dance and the atmosphere is relaxed and positive.

The proof
Our commitment to our philosophy is what makes our students so happy with what we offer. That's why we have more reviews than other dance schools in Melbourne and a solid 5-Star rating. Our students have made us the No.1 rated dance studio in Melbourne. But take a look below at the testimonials and examples of others who have learned here. Then read more about our philosophy to see why Destine Dance is the ideal ballroom dance studio for you.

Because of all these characteristics, you can be assured that your efforts to learn with Destine Dance will be well rewarded.

Destine dance covers many styles of partner dance and offers a structure to help you progress effectively. We encourage you to follow an established path that will give you a broad base of dance and focused development. This will allow you to learn all forms of dance and progress you most effectively. However, we also realise that dance is for you. Therefore, we can accommodate you as much as is possible to give you want you want, which we also know can change. Because we want it to be about you, and we are ready to help you get what you want, Destine Dance is the perfect place for you to learn dance.

Knowing you are learning proper dance

When you learn to dance, you want to know that you can dance with others anywhere in the world. As well as teaching a large number of styles so you can always dance the style that is being danced at any event, we focus on teaching you to dance properly. They key to this is our relationship with the Australian Dancing Society (ADS). The ADS is part of a coalition of international dance organisations that keeps everyone around the globe on the same page when it comes to dance so that we can all dance with each other.

​Every 6 weeks Destine Dance runs an awards night where you can show what you know to a registered member of the ADS. This gives you 2 things:
  1. Certainty you are learning to dance properly, which helps you enjoy it even more
  2. Feedback from an independent expert on how you can become an even better dancer
This is how you know that Destine Dance will teach you to dance properly
