Two things are coming to Ferny Creek this Term 3.
One of them you’d expect from us. Adult dance classes. Burlesque, Glow Fit, Jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, tap, movement for women who want an hour that’s actually theirs.
The other one? Nobody’s done it in the Ranges before.
Drop a 🔥 if you want to be first to know.
Week 2 update — and she is STRIPPED BACK and ready to rise. 🏚️➡️✨
The asbestos is out. The walls are down. The bathroom is mid-demo. The electrician is doing his thing. It’s loud, it’s dusty, and it is absolutely glorious.
Every week this building is revealing more of what she’s going to become and we are HERE for it.
We’ve already heard some incredible stories from people who grew up shopping here, working here, or just hanging around the Ferny Creek township. Please keep them coming. Photos, memories, family connections, drop them in the comments or message us directly. We’re collecting them all. 💜
Watch this space. Big things are coming to the hills.
It’s not just dance.
It’s the shy kid who walks in nervous and walks out beaming.
It’s the mum who finally has one hour that’s just hers.
It’s the teen who found their people.
It’s confidence, movement, belonging and yeah, okay, it’s also really fun.
This is what we do in the hills. And there’s a spot with your name on it.
Casual classes available, no commitment, just come try it.

We have a new home. 🏠
For The Love Of Dance is moving from our Tecoma studio into the Ferny Creek General Store, 195 Mount Dandenong Tourist Rd, right in the heart of the community.
This building has been part of Ferny Creek for generations. We didn't just find a new studio, we moved into somewhere that already belongs to the people around here and we want to honour that.
Inside, we're building a permanent community history wall. Photos, memories, stories from anyone who's ever had a connection to this place.
If you grew up coming here, know someone who did, or just have an "I remember when..." we want to hear it. Head to the link below to share your story and find out what's on at our new home. ✨

PS Dont worry, our Cockatoo and Macclesfield classes aren't moving anywhere!
Your preschooler doesn't need to be a dancer to come to dance class.
I say this because I can feel some of you thinking they're not that coordinated yet, or they get shy in new places, or they're in that phase where she screams if you leave the room.
All of that? Completely normal. Completely fine. We have genuinely seen it all.
Preschool dance isn't about technique. It's about giving a small human a space where they get to move, play, and slowly build the kind of confidence that carries them into everything else.
The kids who watch from the doorway for the first three weeks? They're often the ones who don't want to leave by week six.
Tiny Groovers from 18 months. Preschool classes from 2 years. Casual drop-in available so you can try it without committing to anything.
Link in bio. We'd love to see you 💜

Dance isn’t just what we teach. It’s what we use to build confidence. To find your people. To feel good in your own skin.

There’s something about watching a little one walk in unsure and walk out absolutely buzzing.
No agenda. No performance. Just a kid who had a really good time. 💜
That’s the whole point.

Time for another Teacher Tuesday!!!
Meggie has been teaching for six years, taking Jazz, Tap, Ballet, and Musical Theatre for students aged 5–15. Outside the studio, she's a primary and performing arts school teacher who's choreographed and directed full productions at both primary and secondary level. This is not a side thing for her. It's her whole world.
Her classes are structured. Technical. Built around the idea that consistency and effort are the actual work — not just showing up. She has high expectations, and her students know it. But somewhere in that structure, she creates enough safety that kids feel okay getting it wrong, trying again, and actually improving.
