Classes for everyone

Rio Rhythmics Latin Dance Academy offers approximately 50 dance classes for dancers of all abilities.

Each week you can choose from a range of styles including salsa, samba, tango, merengue, gafieira, zouk-lambada, forró, bolero, bossa nova, and more. Whether you are new to Latin dance or at an advanced level, Rio Rhythmics has a class to suit you.

Rio Rhythmics stands out as a leader in Latin dance tuition because of our unique dance curriculum, developed by founding director Tarcisio Teatini-Climaco. Our goal is to inspire, excite and educate you in Latin dance and the beautiful culture that accompanies it.

To ensure your competency, our term length is longer than other dance schools, as are our class sessions. Our classes are 1½ hours long, whereas many other studios offer only 1-hour long classes.  This equates to 16 ½ hours of tuition for an 11-week term. Our courses include insights into the exciting cultures that created each dance style.

Rio Rhythmics also offers complementary courses and short courses to increase and expand our dancers' vocabulary in terms of dance expression.

DID YOU KNOW? Rio Rhythmics pioneered a student support program in 1996.  The program gives students who have completed Variety 3 the chance to participate in one extra class per week, free, in an assisting role, and provides valuable support to other students. This has proven so successful that the model has been widely copied, not only in Latin dance academies, but also in the dance industry throughout Australia and abroad.    Click here for more information.
