The first step is to book in a complimentary and obligation-free consultation. You’ll be looked after by one of our highly trained and friendly teachers, who will inform you of all the additional services we have to offer.

2

Each couple is different, so it’s important for us to discuss your specific ideas in detail and learn about what you’re both hoping to achieve. This will help us determine which style of dance and choreography will best suit you. 

3

During this free one hour dance lesson, we’ll also teach you some basic steps to your choice of song, which will help you get a sense of what your dance could look and feel like.

Finally to finish your consultation, we can give you feedback and advice with regards to pricing, packages, how many lessons you may require and to make a booking if you wish.

  • I have been dancing salsa for 5 years socially and attending different dance schools. The instructors at this school by far have helped me grow my understanding of movement, timing, precision and musicality at a rate I didn't think was possible. So many lightbulb moments. The teachers are patient, articulate and FUN! I highly recommend this school of dance as you will not be disappointed!

    I began my journey with Secret Garden of Dance during Melbourne's 2020 lock-down. With no previous dance experience, I was determined to learn Michael Jackson's Dangerous performance. Sanu's passion for teaching (and MJ) allowed me to exceed my initial expectations (see our video on youtube). Sanu and Caroline's commitment and passion for dance fosters a warm environment for their students to realize their potential. I highly recommend Secret Garden of Dance for those who want try something new, those who are fans of MJ or Afro-Cuban/Salsa.

    I am loving my dance classes at Secret Garden of Dance. So glad I stumbled across your dance studio 18 months ago. Sanushka’s philosophy and unique teaching methods are fantastic. So nurturing and patient for those of us that take a bit longer to get it, so informative and interesting on background of dances, such great staff Caroline & Simon helping instruct and making everyone feel welcome (though I did start off with Peter when you were away who was great). I love the community feel of all that come to classes at the studio and feel like I belong. Classes are such a great workout and I hate when I need to miss a class. Looking forward to continuing and me improving. Thank you so much. 😊

    How can I rave about this place enough? Caroline was so patient & thorough. She was the perfect teacher - so kind with her instructions and feedback. She managed to completely transform our lack of confidence into a beautifully choreographed piece including 2 lifts when i never even considered one. Even on the day with the obstruction of my dress, the perfectly chosen & taught steps, we were so happy with the end result. We also left this very late - learnt it all with 1 class a week just a few weeks before the wedding! Thank you Caroline!

  • We took lessons in preparation for our wedding for both our First Dance and my Father-Daughter Dance. We cannot recommend this school highly enough!!! Sanushka is absolutely amazing, he is highly skilled teacher who is able to adapt his teaching to all levels of dance, who has excellent communication skills and his classes were truly enoyable. He offered excellent ideas and suggestions for choreography and music, helping us to work our what we did and didn't want. We had the best time at all of our lessons, and our dances were just incredible - everything we could have hoped for! We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    My Fiance and I had absolute no clue about dancing. Aiming at performing a dance for our wedding , Sanushka lead us step by step. He managed to bring out the beat in us we never even knew existed. More than learning a dance that will stay with us forever, we also had a great time laughing and just having a blast at every session. Thanks Sanushka. Keep at it !!! You are a pro indeed

    We first found out about The Secret Garden of Dance through my sister who had registered us for a trial class ahead of our wedding. My husband and I both enjoy dancing socially, but had not had previous experience with learning a choreographed routine. Caroline made us feel welcome and took the time out to get to know us as a couple and thoughtfully crafted a routine for us which we will think back on fondly for years to come. Caroline was patient, professional, articulate and very concise with how she taught us. Instead of rushing into learning the full choreography, she iterated the importance of nailing the basics first and spent time with us till we got it right. Going to classes every week for the 6 weeks in the lead up to our wedding, was something we both eagerly anticipated, and helped us not only learn a new skill, but helped us grow closer together as a couple. Everyone loved our first dance and were totally taken by surprise by our moves! Thank you Caroline - you helped make our wedding feel extra special and unforgettable for us xxx

    Hi Sanu, I hope you are wonderful ! A very belated happy new year – 3 months into the year. With our wedding now a distant beautiful memory, the honeymoon conquered and thoroughly enjoyed we wanted to take the time to say, thank you on behalf of Haran and I. Wedding dance classes was something we knew we needed but didn’t realise how special it would make our journey. The experience not only made two people with left feet look decent at dancing, but it made our journey to getting married so memorable – coming to your studio in Camberwell every week and enjoying a dinner or dessert after on Bourke Rd was always a pleasure. It was a highlight in our week and something that we could enjoy just the two of us leading up to our special day. We look back with so many fond memories! Your upbeat and warm nature made classes so much fun, you were committed to helping us succeed and get to the level we wanted to for our dance. You pushed us to be the best versions of ourselves through dance and were patient when we needed to learn more moves! Our wedding dance was magical, and our friends and family not only were shocked to learn we could dance but loved the performance. I would recommend The Secret Garden of Dance any day. Would do it all over again! Any couple would be lucky to have this experience with The Secret Garden of Dance – so a huge thank you to Sanu, Caroline and the team for everything. We loved every moment and cant wait to meet again! Racquel and Haran
