Rio Dance Studio Teaching Melbourne to dance since 1981

Rio Dance Studio was founded in 1981 by Fabian Gheri and Maureen De Lacy, hostess of the popular ABC TV show, That’s Dancin’. Since then Rio’s success in dancing lessons has resulted in the establishment of conveniently located Melbourne dance schools in Balwyn and Prahran. Our vision is to have a dancing class environment where people can come along, with or without a partner, and learn to dance in a happy, relaxed and professional atmosphere. Our belief is that if you can walk, you can dance, so don’t wait any longer, call one of our studios now and start enjoying yourself.

That's just the way it goes though when you're learning a new skill.
