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
We love how talented and passionate our dance teachers are at Rio 💃🕺
