Studio J Dance

Welcome to Studio J Dance, a world-class dance studio in Richmond, Melbourne, that is dedicated to spreading the love and beauty of Indian dance. Offering a wide range of classes, both in-studio and online, Studio J Dance provides a platform for students to learn traditional, semi-classical, modern, and cross-cultural Indian dance styles.

What sets Studio J Dance apart is its team of highly skilled and passionate teachers, all of whom are independent artists of South Asian heritage. These teachers are at the top of their respective art forms, ensuring that students receive expert guidance and mentorship in their dance journeys.

At Studio J Dance, we believe in the power of performance. That is why we offer performance courses that allow students to master a dance routine and be featured in professionally produced dance videos. These videos serve as a testament to their hard work and dedication, and also provide a platform for them to showcase their talent to a wider audience.

In addition to in-studio courses, Studio J Dance also offers online classes and dance-on-demand tutorials. This flexibility allows students to learn at their own pace and convenience, ensuring that Indian dance is accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or schedule.

We are so confident in our teaching methods that we offer a unique dance guarantee. If a student completes a course but finds themselves unable to learn the dance routine, we will refund their fees. We are committed to supporting our dance family and ensuring that every student has the opportunity to learn and grow.
