Dance Habit has changed my life. I feel like this review is going to get gushy, but I had not danced in 18 years. I used to love dance, and between life and mental illness and significant weight gain, I had decided dancing was not for me anymore, or was something I might do in the future when I was fitter. Dance Habit has not only been accepting of me, they have made me feel so welcome and at home. They are helpful and willing to give extra help, or suggest adjustments that better suit my body. I have been doing class for 3 weeks, and I am a different person in that time. I am more confident and happy, and every time I think about my Wednesday night dance classes I either get super excited or so happy I need to have a bit of a cry because I am just overwhelmed with love. This studio is built on love, acceptance, encouragement and joy, and I feel so lucky to be a part of that. I really cannot put into words just how much this has changed my life for the better, but so many people in my life have also witnessed the change, I am a new, happier person, and it is all thanks to Dance Habit. They have made dancing inclusive and I would encourage anyone who has ever wanted to dance but doesn't think they can, doesn't think they are fit enough or flexible enough or skinny enough, go to a trial class at Dance Habit, because they will show you that if you want to turn up and give it a go, you can absolutely be a dancer.

A wonderful dance studio for children and adults alike. The staff are so welcoming and the community is like a family. The classes cater for all levels of ability and as an adult starting dance, I have found nothing but enjoyment and such joy dancing with Dance Habit. I highly recommend you take a trial class and you will know exactly what I mean by this studio is the best

Love it here! As a disabled, fat, and trans person I’ve had some traumatic experiences at dance studios in the past, but Dance Habit is warm, welcoming and inclusive. It’s been such a joy learning to dance here!
Attending the adult classes at Dance Habit is always the highlight of my week, and while I was nervous the first time, now I can’t help but smile when I walk into the building!
The teachers are encouraging and I appreciate that they readily offer different movement options so you can pick your own level of difficulty and practice levelling-up your technique. There’s also a real camaraderie amongst the students - everyone is so supportive, it feels like having your very own cheer squad while you dance!

After having a massive break from dance I was welcomed back in such a loving way. Not only are the students so inclusive but the teachers go above and beyond for each and everyone of us. With different levels to find the right class for you I definitely recommend at least a trail!

Dance Habit is an amazing dance school and a really lovely dance community to be part of. My daughter and I have both been doing dance classes here for many years. The teachers are great and there is such a nice feel to the place - everyone is really supportive and friendly. I never danced as a child so I started at Dance Habit as a complete beginner. Its been a really wonderful experience for me.

Although many dance schools offer adult classes it is rare for a school to have the amount of different class levels and styles that Dance Habit has and this all comes down to the strength of the community that Megan and the team have created here.
Whether you are completely new, have danced all your life or somewhere in between, there is a place for you here. If you are into performing or want to give it a try, there are opportunities and if that is not your thing that is totally fine as well. Everyone is encouraged on their own dance journey.
The teaching and class standard is high quality and the environment is inclusive and friendly. This is a special place that I have attended since 2019 and we are so lucky to have such a dance school here in the west, I have a lot of friends in the Eastern suburbs who would love to have such a school close to them.

I've been going to Dance Habit for more than a year now. The classes are fun and engaging. Lovely teachers and staff who know their stuff. Megan and the team truly reflect the core values of Dance Habit in the work they do: Kindness, Inclusion, Empowerment and Growth. Highly recommend to all!

I had searched on and off for a number of years to find a tap class that would work with my schedule.   Two years ago I found Dance Habit and noticed how good the reviews were and they were right.   Thought it would be fitting that I write my own review.

I'm now a second year tap student and I love it!   I look forward to class every week.

Whether you're new to dancing, wanting to try a different style (they have a number of styles on offer) or wanting to pick up dance again, you wont regret booking a trial with Dance Habit.

Dance Habit is an awesome community! They are very welcoming, friendly and the teachers are extremely supportive.

So grateful to have found Dance Habit.

Dance Habit is a great place to learn to dance, make friends and feel connected. My kids have danced here for the last 5 years and continue to love it. I also dance here as an adult student and absolutely love my classes.
Dance Habit have a huge variety of dance class styles and levels to suit everyone. They are extremely inclusive for all people and have a real focus on making everyone feel welcome.
The teachers are highly knowledgeable, skilled and put so much passion into their classes and students. If you’re looking for a fun, inclusive and quality place to learn to dance, this is it!

Great dance school, especially for pre schoolers.
My son attends the ballet classes and loves going every week. You can see how much he has improved over the terms, and a lot of credit goes to his teacher and the way the classes are run. Even during lockdown, they've managed to run everything smoothly and move to zoom sessions with minimal disruption.
Highly recommend Dance Habit, and the team are great.

I learnt two things here 1) everyone here is extremely friendly and 2) dancing is flipping hard. I was and still am snot at it, but despite that Im still welcomed. I recommend everyone to give dancing a shot it's always good to expand your horizontals.

I la la looove dance habit! The teachers are so friendly and supportive, and it’s a non competitive learning environment. Both the students and teachers at dance habit are genuine, amazing and so kind hearted. The main reason I chose dance habit was the warm welcoming vibe I received on my first classes and the fact that they have adult tap and adult dance classes where you’re dancing with people above 18, as apposed to younger girls, which I didn’t want to do.you’re awesome Dance habit thank you!:)
Just one suggestion, can we pleaaaaase make the adult concert costumes more appealing?

Im fifty, feeling scared to pick a dance group, who had a relaxing and fun atmosphere, who didn't have the "snobby" vibe. I found DANCE HABIT right from the word dot, gave me the vibe i wanted, friendly, professional and possible, after ever class im on a happy high, I can see myself really doing this, its the longest thing i have stuck out, and teachers are very professional in what the do. I highly recommend them, plus I do see the children dance and the teachers, I'd have my grand son come here, when his old enough.

As an adult getting back into dance in my 30's, I have danced at Dance Habit for 6 years and dabbled in hip hop and jazz but tap has been my love since the start. The teachers and staff are friendly, caring, knowledgeable, fun and amazing to kids and adults alike and are amazing dancers. They don't pressure kids into anything which I loved so my daughter danced this year too. Highly recommend.

This will be my fourth year in Dance Habit as an adult student, and I can't even begin to say how amazing it is as a school and as a community.
The teachers are not just great instructors, but they also take a lot of pride in maintaining a safe dance environment - especially if you have any injuries or are returning from a long hiatus. The community is warm and diverse in ability and in age and I was made to feel at home fairly quickly.
I initially joined Dance Habit for Pilates classes as I felt I was too old and self-conscious to get back into dancing (it had been a good 10 years since I last did any form of dance regularly!). I was eventually convinced by my Pilates teacher to try ballet, which I have never had any formal training for.
Three years down the road and I am attending Jazz, Contemporary and Ballet classes at the Intermediate level and enjoying the challenges that come with. I'm also looking forward to trying some new styles this year and challenging myself even further!
The teachers and other students are extremely supportive, and it's done wonders for my self-consciousness and confidence levels as a dancer.
Extremely, highly recommended! <3

After years of me attending dance habit’s amazing end of year performances, I finally signed up for some of their classes. This was one of the best things I have ever done. The teachers here are absolutely wonderful, welcoming and just amazing. The classes and always happy, so incredibly supportive and it is an absolute pleasure to be of such an amazing community.

I am extremely happy with the teachers and everyone else works at the place. I took my 3.5 years old to a different dance place 6 months ago, unfortunately, it was a disaster, she was crying in the class and we had to leave 10 mins after the class started. Couple of months ago, I found out Dance Habit online and though I give it try. My daughter is a very shy and refused to go in the class for few class. However the teachers here are an amazing.they made her feel so comfortable and slowly built up her confidence. The best dance place you can find for your kids.
