That is why we focus on private lessons so you never have to wait for a program to start or finish.

Our love for the industry is what sets us apart. Our passion for what we do is at the heart of our entire business and is the driving force for all the work we put in for all our students.

"Everyone should do themselves a favor and come here to learn."

Well what can I say!!! My dream was to learn ballroom dancing and to say I had a big fear of doing something on my own is an understatement. I hesitated to book a few time and when I did, I was glad too. My first phone call with the staff made me feel very relaxed and welcomed.

I arrived early and got welcomed by friendly faces, making me feel less anxious. I am almost 2 weeks into my lessons and loving it. I have learnt the basic of the Foxtrot, Rumba, Waltz, Swing, Cha Cha and the Tango...

Thank you too all the staff for making me feel extremely welcomed and comfortable. Thank you to my teacher who is helping me learn to dance and the laughs we have... I am looking forward to the social events, which will be a great way to meet new people..

Everyone should do themselves a favor and come here to learn.

The teachers at CareToDance truly believed in me, pushing me to better myself on and off the dance floor, which resulted in me losing 50kgs.

They are wonderful teachers and are sure to take you as far as you want to go with your dancing.

The most encouraging, supportive, talented and passionate teachers ever. I haven't just learned steps, I've gained a lot more confidence. I always go home with a big smile on my face after each lesson.

My partner and I started lessons at CareToDance Balmain one week ago and we have never had so much fun! The instructors are knowledgeable, personable and always welcoming. Not once have I felt judged for my (lack there of) ability.

I’m a complete beginner, my partner is an ex-dancer, however our instructors have managed to personalise the lessons for both our skill levels, and we are loving every minute of dancing together!

I recently started as a beginner at CareToDance after many years of wanting to learn ballroom (but being too scared). I was blown away by the professional and welcoming environment at CTD. If you’re looking for a fun and professional social dance studio where the teachers are FAB and the programs are tailored to you - this is the place for you. Is there only 5 stars to give?

My fiancé and I decided to take dance lessons only a month and a half before our wedding and with minimal dance experience together. Knowing we were strapped for time our teacher booked all of our lessons in advance and ensured that with each lesson we were learning and perfecting the steps.

Business: From traditional bridal waltz to something more upbeat, dance instructor Frank Lizzio provides private lessons to couples, brides and grooms who are getting married, to confidently prepare them for their first wedding dance.

4worldlovers:
Dance lessons are a great way to take a break from the stressful plans of your upcoming wedding! Lose yourself with your partner and music as we work together to create something magical on the dance floor for your special dance. You will be surprised with some of the things you thought you would never be able to achieve in such a short amount of time by booking some dance lessons with Frank.


Ranging from a traditional bridal waltz to something more upbeat. You don’t need to have any dance experience and I can work with whatever skill level you have to make your first dance look great to your chosen song.


All dance lessons occur in a private dance space. I feel it’s very important to have your own private dance space when learning your wedding dance, without the distraction of other lessons or classes on the floor that could be intimidating or distracting.

I started ballroom dancing at the age of 12 and instantly fell in love with it. I trained and competed in Australia and internationally for 15 years.


My career highlight was receiving a scholarship to travel to the UK in 2006. This gave me the opportunity to train with some of the world’s leading dance instructors and compete against the world’s best Latin dancers at the Blackpool Dance Festival, the biggest ballroom dancing competition in the world.


I have taught for over 20 years ranging from private lessons to group classes, and now focus on teaching couples who are getting married, to confidently prepare them for their first wedding dance.


“Hi Frank, we wanted to say thank you again for all your help with our wedding dance! It all went great, everyone loved it.”

We were very nervous about our first dance and didnt know where to begin but Frank was amazing and eased our nerves. I highly recommend any bride or grooms that are nervous about their first dance get in touch with Frank to help you out. Thanks frank! Xx””

The culinary queen and 2019 MasterChef winner Larissa and now husband Luke came to Best Wedding Waltzes for some last minute dance lessons before their wedding in March 2021.


Their song Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” was a fun, more upbeat song compared to the traditional slower songs. We were able to put together a simple fun dance they were able to learn in a short amount of time with Larissa saying “Thanks heaps! We had so much fun dancing with you”


Before starting your first dance lesson, it’s important for the ladies to describe (in private) what kind of a dress they will be wearing, whether it is a slim evening gown, if it has a big puffy skirt with lots of heavy material or whether it has a long train… A picture of the dress would be ideal to bring.

Knowing the type of wedding dress you will be wearing will help assist in knowing what type of choreography will work, without giving you any difficult moves that could get you into trouble on the night.

It’s also a good idea to wear a similar type dress to the lesson, as dancing in your wedding dress on the night will feel completely different to dancing in your casual clothes that you have been practising in and wearing to your lessons. If you do not want your partner to know what type of dress you will be wearing before the big day, you could also put it on and have a quick dance with me while your partner waits outside so no surprises are spoilt.

I always say the song you choose for your first wedding dance should mean something and be special to both of you. If you don’t have a special song, that’s ok too, but I would strongly suggest having something picked before your first dance lesson to eliminate any time wasted you could be spending on your dance. Even though the bride and groom may have different taste in music, my advice would be to pick something you BOTH like.

If you are struggling to choose just one song, bring your top 2 or 3 choices to your first dance lesson and we can discuss what would work best for you.

Sometimes your favourite song just won’t work for a first dance. It may be too fast, or the music may be designed for a dance with a higher degree of difficulty. At your first dance lesson, I am happy to give my expert opinion on your music choice to get the best possible result out of your dance.

"Our daughter has been dancing with Academy Ballet since she was ..."

Business: Academy Ballet is a ballet dance studio in Sydney, offering ballet classes for kids and adults. Inclusive studio with a focus on kindness.

4worldlovers: A nurturing and inclusive ballet studio that builds your child’s confidence and instils a love of ballet for life.


Ballet and dance classes for kids with a focus on progress, not perfection, where we strive only to be better than the person we were yesterday.


Academy Ballet is a Sydney ballet studio that offers a holistic, quality ballet education with a focus on the physical, emotional and spiritual development of our students. We equip your child with the skills to reach their full potential in a safe and welcoming environment where every dancer belongs.


With a highly regarded 40 year history and one of the first RAD ballet schools in Australia, Director Sinead Vidler, a former student of AB herself, leads a team of internationally acclaimed ballet instructors, dedicated to seeing your child’s technique and character flourish.

We believe all children can achieve their fullest potential if given the right guidance in a nurturing environment. Our teachers embark on a journey with each individual child, curating an experience that develops the whole person – from caterpillar to butterfly.

Our ballet and dance classes accompany your child on their wonderful journey through childhood.

Our ballet and dance classes for kids start at our AB Minis program for children 2.5 years and above. The perfect introduction to ballet through dynamic, creative and musical ballet lessons.

Then your child will grow and progress through our school program starting in Primary. Your child will learn the foundations of classical ballet working through each grade to our senior Advanced classes with completion of their RAD exams.

There is a real sense of community at Academy Ballet. The sense of organisation and attention to detail in everything Academy Ballet is involved in is also very reassuring for parents. I always feel very safe dropping my child off to the studio and know that she is in excellent hands.

As soon as we walked into Academy Ballet it was very welcoming, warm and felt like a home environment. We knew that this was and still is the perfect place for my daughter to be spending most of her after school hours activities.

Academy Ballet is inclusive in its approach to teaching; caring for all children, not just those who perform at the highest standards. Also, it considers the needs of the individual child, without compromising on the tradition and self-discipline inherent in the world of classical dance.

A fully choreographed routine often results in the entire dance looking robotic, devoid of emotion,
