This exciting opportunity is brought to you by the Australian Sports Commission and DanceSport Australia as part of the PlayWell initiative. Martyn Kibel, Chairman of the DSA PlayWell Committee, said, “The Come and Try 2025 program is an exciting opportunity to engage communities and promote dance in a convenient, accessible way.”
Following a successful Victorian pilot in Autumn, which surpassed our goal of 500 participants, we’ve refined the process and enhanced the website. Our aim is to inspire 2,000 more people to try dancing nationwide.
First time dancing?
Here is what you need to know.
What to do first

Come early
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the lesson to be welcomed and given relevant information.
Do I need a partner?
No, many come alone and there are plenty of students and teachers to dance with. Friends and partners are welcome.
What to wear
Dress in neat casual comfortable clothing. Wear shoes that you will be able to dance in – a pair of flat shoes or runners. No thongs or sandals please.
