Get DirectionsAbout Rio Rhythmics Latin Dance Academy
This is a working dance academy with two dedicated studios on Boundary Street, Studio 1 is the long-time main room with a high ceiling and a sprung timber dance floor; Studio 2 is a smaller room a short walk up the road with a balcony overlooking the street. Social nights follow the class timetable: Saturday runs a Latin Mix social with a free intro lesson, while Friday socials are pitched at experienced dancers.
Expect a studio feel rather than a bar scene: mirrors, open floor space and a reception for check-in at street level. Music across the socials covers salsa, bachata, Brazilian zouk and kizomba, so you’ll see beginners from the 10-week courses alongside regular advanced students. Cover sits in the mid-teens AUD; check the events page before you go and arrive early if you want to catch the intro on Saturday.
