I have been going to tropical soul for a year and a half- longer than most things I stick to. I started with one class and now find myself there quite a few nights a week doing different dance styles. The reason is because it is such a great studio – for a large studio it still has a family feel. Classes are fun. All the instructors are excellent, good humoured and encouraging. They always discuss how to dance safely, with dance etiquette, pay attention to detail and work to the level of the class cohort. The school seems to attract a very friendly, inclusive group of people so your sure to enjoy your experience both in classes and socials organised by the school.

Thanks to Kelsi for being our last minute dance instructor for our wedding. Had so much compliment on our first dance. As having no experience in dancing, Kelsi provided easy instructions and explained which move hits the climax of the song.

I have been coming to Tropical Soul for about a year. It's my first time to learn any dancing, and I wasn't sure initially if I would continue, but now I like this school so much, I keep coming here almost every day. The teachers are so professional and passionate about teaching, and gives us lots of encouragement. Whenever I have any issues, they will explain to me slowly and in a very kind manner. The classmates are also great. I made so many wonderful friends. I'm so grateful that I have this opportunity to attend this school, and this school is one of the big reasons now why I want to stay in Australia. Thank you so much TS teachers and my wonderful classmates for making the classes always so fun and yet great learning experience. I strongly recommend this school to anyone who genuinely wants to learn, and to make great friends along the way.

I have been with Tropical Soul for 4 years now and keep coming back. The studio feels like home. It is incredible the amount of genuinely nice people I met there and are now some of my closest friends. The quality of teaching is also off the chart. We learn a lot, we have fun and we become well rounded dancers. In a nutshell, get yourself there, start dancing and become part of the Soulmates family 😊

Knowing that I have my dance classes there makes my week. The schools has very friendly vibe with encouraging, lovely team. The teachers presents high level, they teach professionally and motivate you but you still have fun and they explain how to progress clearly. The location and hours are convenient. It is a safe place. They offer many additional events to bring community together. And last but not least- this is a place when you truly can meet fantastic people and make friends.
