If you’re wondering whether you should come here for your wedding dance (or any other dance needs you have) JUST DO IT! Caroline helped me and my partner learn an amazing salsa for our wedding dance, and we managed to look pretty damn good for two people that couldn’t dance walking in there. We also had SO much fun and got along so well with Caroline, she’s a fabulous teacher and person! JUST DO IT!

December 5, 2022We 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!

November 14, 2024My husband and I were due to marry in 2020, however when Covid hit, it pushed our wedding right up to April 2022. With many postponements that came our way we were at ease when it came to our bridal dance. When I approached Sanushka to teach us, he went above and beyond to ensure that we not only learned the dance but we enjoyed every bit of it despite lockdowns in-between and the uncertainty of things. Sanushka including the staff at the Secret Garden of Dance were so friendly and accommodating. Sanu choreographed our dance to illustrate our love story having a meaning to our first dance. My husband and I would like to express how grateful we are to Sanushka for going above and beyond to make our first dance a beautiful memory.

July 4, 2022Sanushka and Andrea are absolutely fantastic dance teachers! My partner and I had the pleasure of learning both the tango and the box rumba with them in preparation for our wedding, and we loved every single minute of it. Their teaching style is engaging, patient, and so much fun. They broke down the steps in a way that was easy to understand, and they always offered helpful feedback and encouragement. Thanks to Sanu and Andrea, we felt confident and graceful on our wedding day. We even surprised our guests with our dances, and we received so many wonderful compliments! It truly added a special touch to our celebration. Thank you, Sanu and Andrea, for your wonderful instruction and for helping us create such a memorable moment. We are so grateful for your expertise and your passion for dance! ❤️

Great atmosphere and positive vibes! Very friendly learning environment, accompanied with good history of Salsa and other dance origins.

March 19, 2021Without a doubt my favourite dance school in Melbourne! My wife and I have been students here for several years and also decided to ask Sanu to prepare a choreography for our wedding dance. The wedding dance went beyond our expectations and it is a moment we will never forget! Sanu and Caroline have an outstanding attention to details and their teaching style is impeccable: logical, clear, passionate. All the teachers at The Secret Garden are very professional but at the same time the classes are fun and energetic. I highly recommend trying their Cuban salsa class, you won’t be disappointed!

June 18, 2022Amy, Simon and Caroline did an amazing job helping us with our first dance. They were so friendly, helpful and professional. We had zero dance experience and they explained music/dance concepts so well. Especially want to thank Amy for her encouragement, patience and her warm and bubbly nature. We had lots of fun!

May 24, 2019We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing experience we had with Caroline who made our wedding dance unforgettable. From the very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and confident even though we had little dance experience. Caroline took our chosen song and created a personalised routine that truly felt like us. Her patience, encouragement, and passion for dance shone through at every session. Thanks to her, our first dance was full of confidence, connection and a routine we'll always cherish. We couldn’t recommend Caroline more highly, she is fantastic!
