Dance Habit

Dance Habit is a rare gem in the dance community- especially for adult dance. Care is taken to ensure that all students are placed in classes that will give them the best possible experience while aiming for safety, challenge and individual goals and the teachers are outstanding. If you are looking to just do casual classes, there are several dance schools in Melbourne that cater to this, but Dance Habit is a full membership experience, where community is the priority and the teachers know every single dancer personally. If you are looking for a place where you can make dance a commitment, meet individuals of all backgrounds and experiences and feel looked after, this is the place to be.

My daughter has been attending Dance Habit since she was 2.5 years old — starting in the toddler “Move With Me” class — and she’s now 8 and dancing across four different styles. Through every stage (even throughout lockdown), the experience has been consistently positive. She absolutely loves going, and we’ve never once had a difficult drop-off, which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dance Habit to anyone looking for a supportive dance school.

Genuinely one of the most wonderful dance schools. I have taken the adult classes a number of times over the years and have always felt included and welcomed with open arms. All the staff are wonderful and there is a real sense of community here. Megan the director is especially wonderful and kind. Special shoutout to Kat who I took two classes with this semester, she is kind, funny, caring and a great compassionate teacher. She really knows how to run a beautiful class and to cater for everyone’s needs. Couldn’t recommend Dance Habit enough.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Dance Habit over the past five years. The teachers are incredibly supportive, nurturing, and professional, and they truly care about each student’s growth both as dancers and as individuals. My daughter had the opportunity to explore a wide range of dance styles, take part in performances and competitions, and even assist with younger students through the Dance Steppers Program—all of which built her confidence and skills immensely. We are especially grateful for the guidance and encouragement she received throughout her journey, including working towards her pointe work, which was a very special milestone. Dance Habit has given her not only strong technical foundations but also lasting memories and friendships. We highly recommend this studio to any family looking for a positive and inspiring dance environment.

I started taking classes at Dance Habit in September last year, and it was the best decision! Every single person in this community is simply amazing. The classes are 100% worth it and the level is very good. I feel so happy to be part!
