Dance Masala

Such a fun variety of dances taught, with an important focus on both style and technique! Dance Masala offers an inclusive environment for the absolute beginner but also an opportunity to seriously develop your skill. Highly recommend

Looking for a fun and challenging way to get exercise? You can look no further than Bollywood dance classes at Dance Masala. The teacher, Drea, is incredibly welcoming and inclusive. She creates a safe and supportive environment for everyone, regardless of their skill level. The classes are open to anyone who enjoys Bollywood dancing. They are an excellent way to challenge yourself both physically and mentally. It's a great workout for your body, and it also helps to improve your memory and coordination. The classes are held in a central location with parking, so they're easy to get to.

Drea Always motivates everyone. Being a non-dancer, if I can dance so anyone can dance under Her guidance. Thank you so much for being so supportive.

Dear Andrea,
Thank your for the wonderful performance at my daughter’s engagement party at Blackbird Bar & Grill. It was just incredible.
Thank you for making the night so special with your performance. Please thank the other 2 dancers as they were also superb.
Everyone complemented the performance and thoroughly enjoyed it. So talented and the facial expressions were out of this world.

Dance Masala is one of the best dance schools I have been to in Brisbane starting with the ease of registration, professional communication, beautiful dance space at Judith Wright and excellent teachers all the way to contribution to the community with the fantastic performances!
Drea runs her classes in a very professional, inclusive, and fun way. She ensures that everyone feels welcome from Day 1 and caters for all different learning styles and paces by providing material before classes start so that students can feel prepared. Not only is she a gifted and inspirational dancer, she demonstrates her great teaching qualifications by breaking down dance moves and communicating them to students in a digestible and easy to follow manner. She is also very encouraging with newbies and is prepared to repeat steps and instructions as many times as required to ensure understanding and execution.
Thank you Dance Masals:)

I booked Dance Masala for our company Christmas Party 2021 and they were fantastic, very professional and had everyone joining in the 'Bollywood' moves. Highly recommend

Thank you so much Drea Lam. I honestly have found such joy becoming apart of the Dance Masala family and learning to dance. Always wanted to learn when I was young but sadly was not allowed to, the closest I got was the 'Just Dance' games. Legit been a dream come true?

The flexibility in options that are available for students are amazing. Since lockdown, online classes became a new reality and now that we are back at the studio in person you can still join from anywhere across the world to learn these amazing choreographies.

We love Dance Masala! Here’s a review from my 12 year old daughter…

I have been going to Dance Masala lessons regularly for almost ten years, and I love every minute! Drea is such an amazing teacher; she pushes you to become your very best but also keeps a breezy, calm environment. Every now and then, I have other activities that get in the way, and I think about quitting dance. However, after I attend a class, quitting seems like the craziest thing to do! I attend regular lessons with Drea, and sometimes attend the fun workshops. The performances are always a blast too! Drea has an brilliant talent to hype everyone up and make us feel completely calm and safe in front of huge crowds. I give Dance Masala 1000/10!

I highly recommend Dance Masala. My son has been attending lessons for over 3 years and thoroughly enjoys it. The teachers are very supportive and always providing encouragement and advice on how the kids can improve their dancing skills.

I have been doing classes since more than 1 and 1/2 years now. Time flies. I used to watch them on stage when they performed and dream that one day I would join them. I finally found them on Facebook and joined the classes. They have been amazing. I have improved so much. I joined it just to have fun and enjoy. Given the current circumstances, they have continued with their online classes which gives you the same feel as normal class. There is fun, interaction and giggles. I would highly recommend them. Do join, trust me you will never feel like an outsider. <3

I've been taking classes at Dance Masala for almost 2 years now. I love the variety of classes they offer each term (ranging from pure Bollywood through to semi-classical and bhangara) and I always struggle to limit myself to just one class! With the onset of COVID-19, Dance Masala opted to deliver all classes online and I'm so grateful for this as it has allowed me to continue my dance journey from the safety and comfort of my own home. The teachers at Dance Masala are wonderful dancers themselves, and their love for dance is evident in the way they teach us. They always provide feedback with the sole aim of making you a better dancer, and this is particularly true in the online environment. Their guidance has helped me to become the better dancer I am today. Thank you <3

Dance masala is a great way to get fit, learn some new moves and have fun. Such a warm and welcoming crew who coach and guide in a non intimidating maximum results kind of way.

Dance masala never stops to amaze me! I was a student of theirs back in Brisbane and then I moved to Melbourne. Also, the other thing that happened, COVID-19 disrupted all our lives. But Drea’s team / DM team didn’t give up. I am actually quite impressed with how they showed so much resilience and gave an opportunity to people like me to be able to dance again. They turned around the whole thing so quickly by giving people an opportunity to dance from the comfort of their home and made the online process so seamless.
Absolutely love their work and I am so glad to be part of this incredible team again. Wherever you are in the world, you should give them a go! <3

A great way to stay mentally and physically healthy. I've been particularly grateful to Dance Masala for helping me stay sane during 2020 isolation, with convenient and fun exercise now being offered online. It's a very welcoming a low pressure environment. Start with a half-price Friday class and take it from there.

Drea's online workshop was really well done. I've taken part in many online dance classes and none of them came close to the video and sound quality from Dance Masala. Drea also magically paid attention too all the students and patiently went over steps made confusing by the medium.

With the Covid-19 virus precautions causing the studio to shut down, I had assumed I wouldn't be dancing for months till things opened again.

But Dance Masala really stepped up and everything went online.
I'm so grateful!
The teachers and staff at Dance Masala have gone over and beyond to ensure the change has been smooth.

The classes have been just as fun and interesting as ever. The zoom classes are so easy to navigate and I get to be comfortable in my own space at home

It's been great for my mental health having the option to still attend classes online.thank you.:)

Daughter absolutely loves the high energy dance routines along with the colour and spectacle of performing in front of an audience. The teachers are exceptional and would highly recommend if, “ballet isn’t for you”!

BRIMM sincerely appreciate Dance Masala's valuable contribution in making Ganesh festival a successful event.

We thank you from bottom of our hearts for your participation, time and efforts you must have spent in preparation and everything else that comes with it.

A special Thanks to Andrea for awesome dance performance on Maharashtrian folk dance form 'Lavani'. It was an amazing performance and everyone at the event really liked entire dance performance and specially lip sync on Marathi song. Thank you very much Andrea for all your efforts and giving us a chance to witness fabulous artist in you.

Just wanted to let you know the dancers were fantastic! Thank you. Adam and Erika were terrific and everyone was talking about how great they were. It was a great way to
So fun! It made my Mum's birthday super special.

Hi Andrea,

Just wanted to say thank-you again for a great start to Amanda's hen's night last Saturday! Everyone had such a great time and we were all doing the dance moves the rest of the weekend! It was so much fun, we absolutely loved it!

Thanks again, Leah
