You’ll always find a reason not to, if you think long enough.

It was amazing to see people ready to give bachata a go for the first time on Sunday! We had so much fun sharing our world with you for the first time.

If you’ve been following along at home, this is your sign to get off the couch and join us!

Getting started can be daunting. As adults we’re not used to being beginners. But once you get past that, you realise how much fun it is to learn a new skill!

📍 Beginners: Thursday 6:30pm AND Sunday 2pm
Vault Creative Spaces, West Perth

We offer a full schedule of classes, check out portal.refinerydance.com.au to find out more

Huge thank you to and for helping us on the day!

“I saw one of your videos and thought I want to learn to dance like that!”

To everyone that has been motivated to learn bachata, or come to our classes from seeing our videos- thank you 🥰

It’s incredible to see our community growing and so many adults inspired to give it a go. We started as beginners too and never did it with the goal of teaching- it was just a fun way to spend otherwise boring nights on the couch.

Most people express interest and then find a reason they can’t start now. Some wait years till they come back to it. But time is going to pass whether you start now, in a few weeks or a few years.

Wouldn’t you rather get to the future being able to dance? 💃🕺🏽

Our classes start this week in West Perth with plenty of options for beginners through to experienced dancers. Check out the link in our bio for our new member intro offer 🔥

Perth! Let’s stop fearing the unknown!

Without traditional bachata there is no bachata sensual, bachata influence, bachazouk, ConRi style etc

Working on your traditional bachata alongside the other styles you enjoy dancing will only help to improve the richness of your dances.

It will give you more tools to use, more understanding of the music structure and the way the ground is used to create different footwork and hip movement.

Gemma has just returned from Sydney with a 🥇 plus is a certified traditional bachata instructor- so you’re in great hands!

Let’s flip the script together and stop using traditional songs as the time we take a drink break and instead make it the time we get to be playful and musical!

📍 Tuesday 7-8pm

An important message as we welcome many new people to our community.

Entering into a partner dance scene can feel exciting and fun but also intimidating and uncertain for some. We share closer proximity to people we dance with than what we typically do in our day to day lives and sometimes that can mean lines are blurry.

So, as we nurture the community growth and welcome new people, we thought it was a good time to remind everyone that creating a safe community is the number 1 priority.

If you feel like your safety or wellbeing is being put at risk by another person at our events- we implore you to speak with us. You will be listened to. You will be taken seriously. And we will take action to ensure we protect you and our community from unwanted behaviour.

Let’s protect our community together. Share this so everyone understands their role.

✨ We are keeping Perth on the National Podium for another year! ✨

To have our Principal Instructor and a student place in competitions that were judged on social dancing, and dancing real bachata is a testament to the work we put in behind the scenes.

We’re so proud to be sharing this moment with not only one of our students, but also a close friend.

Shilpa, watching you shine and stay kind to yourself was such a good reminder that competitions don’t need to come with pressure and stress. There is an option where we choose to enjoy the moment and just be ourselves.

Congratulations ladies. And thank you for proudly representing Refinery Dance 💜
