The Dance Pad

I've been taking Cuban salsa, Brazilian samba, and Commercial dance classes at The Dance Pad for a while now, and it has been an amazing experience. The instructors Emma and Piter are not only incredibly skilled but also very supportive and passionate about teaching. Students are also very friendly, easy going and welcoming, making it a great place for dancers of all levels. I love how Emma and Piter breaking down the moves in a way that's easy to follow while still challenging enough to help me improve quickly. Through the year TDP also produces multiple shows which allowing us students to show case what we have learnt. I quite enjoy that experience. I highly recommend The Dance Pad to anyone to learn and enjoy Latin dance.

I have attended so many dance schools in Adelaide and when I finally stumbled across The Dance Pad I instantly felt at home! Emma is such a warm and welcoming studio owner and teacher, and the culture she has built is so friendly, positive and inclusive with a real emphasis on women's empowerment and building self confidence. Emma has a wealth of technical knowledge and professional experience across a huge range of styles, so her classes have a strong focus on underpinning dance technique, and are great for those dreaming of building up their dance and giving performance a go. I take a few classes per week on a membership, and they're always fun and the right amount of challenging. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone, whether you just want to dance for fun and fitness or you're a dance addict chasing continual improvement.

Really enjoyed the dancing experience with the Dance Pad!! The teachers are professionally trained and super friendly breaking down the moves. The class is super fun and great environment to learn a new style of dancing. The shows are amazing and well organized. Highly recommend the Dance Pad for anyone who wants to learn dancing for whatever style!!!!

All 4 of my kids attend and absolutely love. The Dance Pad, led by Emma, is a fantastic place for children to learn dance and thrive in a supportive community. Emma is a professional not only in her dance instruction but also in managing the needs of her students and their families. Her expertise and passion create a nurturing environment where kids feel valued and encouraged.

I’ve been dancing with TDP for years. And they’re a great dance school. Now I go to social events and dance salsa. And I even joined their performance group and danced in an Adelaide Fringe show, such a rush. The Dance Pad is a family friendly school, so it’s great for kids, teens, and adults alike. Both Emma and Piter (dance teachers) have had life long careers in dance. They are the few dance instructors in Adelaide who are actually professional dancers. I’d recommend checking out their bio for more information.
