1

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.

  • My fiance and I had dance lessons with Sanushka, the owner of the studio. He was a wonderful teacher who taught us a lot, and took into account our capabilities when he choreographed our First Dance for our wedding. We had an amazing time learning our dance, and our lessons became a highlight of our week. Sanushka challenged us and helped us achieve a performance that we couldn't have imagined prior. Our friends and family were left gobsmacked, and my wife and I were so thrilled and proud of ourselves and what we achieved. It is still a talking point. We would highly recommend The Secret Garden of Dance.

    We can't thank Steph enough for making our dance lessons such a memorable and fun experience! We were a bit late in sending this review (serious procrastinators here), but we had to let everyone know how amazing our time was. The dance lessons were definitely one of the best highlights of our wedding prep. The dance turned out fantastic on the big day! The whole thing was a hit—we loved it, and so did our guests! Steph made us feel so comfortable, even though we were total beginners. We had such a blast learning with Steph, and we'll always remember the laughs and great banter. It felt more like hanging out with a friend than a teacher! Highly recommend Steph for anyone looking to learn or have fun with dance. Thank you for everything!

    Love this dance studio, I went here for Tahitian dance class (which by the way is awesome and our instructor is lovely ?). Studio is tucked away near a carpark in Camberwell up some stairs it's not the most glamours studio but it's inviting and has character. The people were really inviting.

    As a commercial style dancer growing up I have always felt like home in dance studio set up with mirros and space for correction of posture and to physically see what needs improving. The Secret Garden Of Dance is a traditional dance studio set up and the classes are also held this way, with the teachers focus on the style, culture and technique of the dance. There is the opportunity for a social dance environment throughout the class, however the emphasis is on improving your individual ability as a dancer in the style, which personally I love. Sanushka's passion for dance shines through and I love his analogies focussing on developing each student into their own creative expression as a dancer in the style chosen to learn. It is a welcoming environment with attention placed on learning. If you're wanting to delve into learning about culture, art through dance and your technique, here you'll find it.

  • Sanushka is the real master teacher !! I have been dancing pretty much whole my life but I've never met a dance teacher like him . He doesn't teach just steps, moves, techniques and choreography etc to make us a dancing machines. He also teaches us more about the culture behind the dance and music for the dance which make the dancing more enjoyable and fun also make us a real dancers. I think how he teaches is very unique and his knowledge is just incredible you can't expect anything like that from a usual dance teacher. That made me and my partner decided to move to Melbourne from Cairns to learn from him. That is huge!! Because I believe Sanushka is the one can take me to the next level as a dancer how I wanna be !! ?

    We were quite nervous to perform a first dance at our wedding but Caroline and Sanushka taught us so much and we felt very connected to their philosophy and honesty with us. We learnt so much and loved going to our lessons as well as the group classes. Our guests continue to comment on how amazing our dance was and we feel so grateful to the secret garden of dance for taking the time and developing the perfect dance for us. Thank you so much! Looking forward to coming back for some more classes in the future.

    The instructors here are very passionate about the style they teach. It feels like they want to train people to be good dancers and take the artform forward, rather than just running a dance school. A good student-teacher ratio and modest fee structure made this studio my favourite among many others that I have already attended in the area.

    From the very beginning, Felicia and I knew we were going to be well taken care of by the team at The Secret Garden of Dance. Caroline was professional, courteous and very willing to hear about the type of dance we wanted to coordinate. Sanushka and Amy then took us through our lessons and choreographed a wonderful routine that we are very excited to perform at our wedding. We're about halfway through and know there is so much more to learn, but we are completely at ease and feeling confident we can nail it with the help of the great instructors at The Secret Garden of Dance. Thank you all! 🙂
