Welcome to 5th Avenue Dance
We teach all Ballroom and Latin dance’s, from the elegance of Waltz through the romance of Rumba to the cheeky and high energy Salsa and Cha Cha. We do work on a program basis, which simply means if there are dance’s you don’t like, don’t do them, and if there are any dance’s you love and want to focus on and become the “best” on the floor with, it is exactly what we will do.
We are a Social Dancing Studio, unique to the Gold Coast region.
Our focus is on teaching students to be able to dance to any music, on any size dance floor, with any partner, with having fun as the main objective.
We teach Leading and Following
MEN we will teach you to dance with any Lady – regardless of her ability.
LADIES we will teach you to actively follow so you can dance with any Man regardless of his standard and independent of his ability to Lead.
We do not teach “routines” or combinations so there is no need to count, think or remember the “correct” order, which is why any partner can be, your partner.
SOCIAL DANCING
Learning “routines” and “combinations” is like learning words or phrases in a foreign language, it is good, and it is the language and will get you by with great concentration and memory recall. However, 6 months after the last time your used the words and phrases, you are in trouble, you will have forgotten the words and phrases and you never really knew the language. So you will need to start all over again.
We teach the “language” of dance. We do teach “steps” but not in any particular order they are simply your vocabulary, we have students who after, 20 years of no lessons can still dance, they have forgotten some of the “words” (steps) but still, to this day, their know the language (of dance) and still dance, without thinking and remembering with partners who sometimes have never had a lesson in their lives.
