Boogie With Us: Same-Sex Dance Lessons For Everyone in Sydney

Absolutely wonderful studio! The staff are incredible, so friendly and welcoming and make you feel so at ease! Wouldn’t have dance lessons anywhere else.

My husband I have attended dance lessons at Social Dance Company for almost two years. WE LOVE IT. We have learnt so many different dances, it’s so much fun and really boosts your confidence. If you have been thinking about learning or improving your skills I urge you to book in, it’s really something we look forward to each week.

Dale and Kerry

Couple dance lessons that are great fun and good exercise. I recommend giving them a try.

I’M NOT A DANCER! (or so I thought). Bought some dance lessons for my wife for her birthday thinking we’ll have a couple of lessons and then I can get back to my golf. 1 year later, we’re still dancing and dare I say, BOTH loving it. I actually look forward to dancing each week and this from a guy who was happy to sit and admire others who had the nerve to get up and have a go. I must admit when we arrived for our first lesson I was skeptical. Ballroom dancing is so formal and really not something you can use in the real world. I was wrong on both counts. Firstly, they really do emphasise the “Social” aspect. The teachers are fun, down to earth and not in the least bit intimidating. As for the dancing, there are so many styles to learn with multiple styles suited to whatever music is playing. I have to also mention something that struck me after that first lesson There is something very special about the physical contact between you and your partner while you’re dancing together. It’s comforting to be walking onto the floor as a team rather gyrating aimlessly on your own. In our busy week to week lives, it’s good to have some time set aside (with no electronic devices) and spend some undivided attention with your partner. If you are the least bit curious, you should definitely give the Social Dance Company a try. It might not be for you…but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t. One of the best decisions we’ve made as a couple.

Paul and Sharon

Excellent lessons in a beautiful studio.

Steve and Kathryn

These peeps taught my mechanicing, motorbiking, footballing, cricketing blokeybloke to danceydance. Not only taught him to dance, but made him feel welcome, talked to him about cars and and sports to distract him, and actually had him enjoying it… he now dances twice a week and goes to lessons ‘on his own’ if I’m travelling. THIS is where you need to come to start, pickup or further your dance journey. It’s fun. It’s friendly. It’s family.

Trevor and Cate

We can absolutely recommend the Social Dance Company for any couple looking to give dancing a go. Matthew, Dani and the team create a fantastic environment for those beginning their dancing journey, those well down the dancing path and everybody in between. It’s fabulous fun !

Stuart & Erika

The highly experienced team work with you to achieve what *you* want. Friendly staff and clients. Relaxed atmosphere.

Kathleen and Beth

We’ve been married for 20 years and my husband never danced with me – he said he’s finally give it a go, 3 years later we put on an amazing performance for our 25 years wedding renewal and he loves it every week when we go – he ‘brags’ to the family how many dances we learn. We love it – kids are no longer dependent and this is something ‘we’ do together and know one else.

Rick & Nikki

Never would I have thought that would be a time where I would look forward to dancing. And that is all credit to the amazing instructors at SDC.

Emmet & Emily

I can’t say enough positive things about Social Dance Company. Our couples dance lesson has been our 1 hour a week for the past 5 years. It’s been the best thing for our marriage. It’s such a warm and welcoming environment – we get to laugh, building friendships and dance!!

Chris & Jenet

Having a ball – wonderful new facilities and lovely staff. We wanted a social dancing experience where we could learn to dance and have an opportunity to dance socially. The Social Dance Company fitted the bill with their one on one lessons and access to social dance nights. We have a great time and its an investment in our relationship.

David & Kate

With Covid, now is the perfect time to have personalised dance classes. All the instructors are great and the lessons are a highlight of our week.

Shane & Leigh

Its been our date night for 6 years! After suffering a stroke at 38 coming here has been the best rehab.

Kirsty & Richard Den Brinker

We talked for years about doing dance lessons, we finally started about 18 months ago at SDC. The experience has been awesome, the environment us super friendly and professional. We have learnt 6 dances to date and feel comfortable dancing at functions.

Pauline Mckay

I really had no idea that dancing could be so much fun! Not only I now enjoy dancing, I got a lot of very good friends.

Ilyas Mukhamabyarov

SDC is my happy place! Its doesn’t matter how challenging my day has been, I always leave SDC a better happier person for myself, my wife and my children.

Robert Broadley

Love coming to dancing. It has encouraged me to try something different. I am not a very outgoing person but coming here has made me more so. Through dance, it has allowed me to do something together with my husband which has strengthened our relationship.

Laurel Bouwer-Smith

Jackson Browns song, for a dancer says: ‘I just do the steps that you’ve been shown by everyone you’ve ever known. Until these steps become your very own.’  My SDC family has made me into the person I am today. I couldn’t have done it without being a part of this awesome family. Thanks to all my SDC mentors for teaching me, not only the steps of dance but also leading me to take the steps into my new life. A life of euphoric glee.

Johnny Manolelis

SDC is where you go to clear your head and gain your sanity. No matter how tired you get or crazy life gets, just going to the studio makes everything ok. All problems stay at the door. The bonus is getting exercise in a fun environment. We have made life-long friends and have been on holidays together. Would never stop. The studio and its students and above all, the teachers, have become a part of our family.

Eleni Manolelis

SDC is an awesome environment. We enjoy the lessons and the experience. It is a great way to share our time together.

Callum Mckay

For years I wanted to learn to dance with my husband. You made it possible and so much fun!

Janice Marshall

Best part of Social Dance Co are the dedicated staff. Dani, Matthew, Collin and Jess are patient, helpful instructors. Very encouraging and caring. The students are supportive and friendly. We feel happy to be part of the dance family. Thank you.

Leo & Sapna

What an awesome place. The studio welcomed us about 6 years ago when I was looking for something musical that we could join as well as the benefit of being social and keeping us healthy. We have made so many dance friends – we love it! The studio is our happy place, full of music, fun and of course the best thing is the dancing and the amazing staff.

David & Lyn Gangemi

Weekly dance lessons with Dani or Matthew is a wakeup call for us to remind ourselves that we are living our life.
