About MAKA Dance Melbourne

MAKA Dance brings ballroom and Latin American dancing to Bentleigh, welcoming everyone from curious first-timers through to dancers chasing competition floors. With classes built for ages six and up, it is a studio designed to grow with you, whether you are stepping out for the first time or refining technique at a high level.

The atmosphere leans warm and progress-focused, pairing structured group classes with private coaching so each dancer can move at their own pace. Kids have a dedicated club tailored to younger learners, and holiday programs keep momentum going through the winter and summer breaks.

Founded by championship-level dancers, MAKA carries a strong performance pedigree into everyday teaching, and that ambition filters through to the way classes are run. For Bentleigh locals weighing up where to learn, the offer of a free trial class makes it easy to test the floor before committing, and the multi-campus footprint across Melbourne's south-east gives regulars flexibility in where and when they dance.
