Our Story:

Thirteen years ago was the start of Alegria Dance Centre… A small dance studio with only one dance teacher, me (Justin). In Spanish, Alegria means joy and happiness. Our mission is to bring joy and happiness to every dance service we provide at our beautiful and non-intimidating studio. The aim was a simple one: Can we get more people dancing socially in Melbourne? We wanted to create a community of dancers that were supportive of one another, and that had one amazing quality in common, dancing for fun and joy! We hosted our first Medal Day in our very small dance studio space with only 3 students performing at this event in 2010 (our first year). It was at least a start to what Alegria might become 🙂

10 years later, Alegria was running 4 events per year for our students, their family and friends. 2 Exhibition Gala Balls with 150 to 200 people attending per event, and 2 Medal Nights in our larger dance studio that we moved into in 2015. In 2019, we were having up to 45 performances on our Exhibition Gala Ball evenings. I was ecstatic with how Alegria had grown into, and even exceeded my expectations of what kind of dance studio my team and I were creating. After Covid, we are so happy to say that we're still open and doing what we love. Our beautiful, loyal dancing family are still here, and loving the amazing culture we've created. Therefore, now in 2023, we decided to rebrand and update our overall look to reflect the amazing dance studio that Alegria is today. We're now known as Alegria Dance Co, proudly still teaching you to dance after 13 years of business and happy to bring even more joy and happiness for many years to come! Alegria Dance Co

Easter is all about good vibes, great company, a little bit of chocolate… and of course, dancing it all off later 😄💃🕺

Also… can we please take a moment for Simon, Rohan & Justin fully committing to their bunny era last year 🐰😂
Not sure if it was more hops than steps… but we’ll give them a solid 10/10 for effort 🙌

Wishing you all a weekend filled with love, joy, and maybe a few extra sweet treats 💛
See you back on the dance floor very soon!

Sorry about the shaky camera work 😂 apparently I’m a better dance teacher than a selfie videographer with phone in hand 🤳 …

But here’s the thing.

Being a dance teacher isn’t just about steps and choreography.

It’s about confidence.
It’s about connection.
It’s about watching someone walk in unsure and leave glowing.

At Alegria, we don’t just run classes… we build community. We support each other as teachers. We grow together. We celebrate our students. We laugh a lot. And we genuinely love what we do.

There’s something pretty special about creating joy for a living 💃🏻🕺

If you believe dance should feel energising, supportive and purpose-driven… you’ll understand exactly what I’m talking about.

Know someone that would fit our incredible culture here ? Please be sure to tag them in this post 🥰🙏

Simon has been sharing the joy of dance all the way in South America. Seeing our Alegria spirit travel across the world and connect with beautiful dancers in Chile is something truly special.

Different country. Different language. Same rhythm. Same passion. Same joy.
