Start your hunt for a dance studio in Melbourne's beautiful downtown. You will find numerous fantastic options around the University of Melbourne. The streets of this picturesque neighbourhood are easily reached from the M2. They could be great options for anyone coming from out of town. While South Melbourne offers several studios for hire, this area may be more challenging to reach for anyone coming farther away, so you may want to consider this before hiring. You can find other studios to hire further south along the coast past Brighton in Moorabbin. The studios in this beautiful Melbourne suburb could be an excellent option for anyone trying to avoid city traffic
When choosing a dance studio, make sure the space has a proper slip-resistant sprung floor. This is necessary for an adequate dance surface and to avoid injury. The studio should also include a sound system, or at the very least speakers. Full-sized mirrors are also a standard feature, as is a ballet barre. Some studios will come with a piano or may have one available for hire.
La Encantada Collective - a high-quality space with tall ceilings and a great sound system. You can find it on Abbotsford Street, in the West Melbourne area.
Studio Two at Rain & Luck - this unique dance studio has comfortable space for different types of activities, with plenty of natural daylight and large mirrors. It's based in the Fairfield district, close to the Darebin Parklands.

What To Look For In A Dance Hall
Location
Pick a studio that’s easy for you or your students to reach—proximity to tram stops or train lines is a huge bonus.
Space & Capacity
Use Tagvenue’s filters to find the right room size. Large classes need more room to move, especially for partner-based styles like salsa or tango.
Flooring
Look for sprung or wooden flooring to reduce joint strain and allow smooth movement. Avoid slippery or uneven surfaces.
Sound System
Studios should offer built-in speakers or a portable sound setup that fills the room clearly.
Mirrors
Most professional spaces include full-wall mirrors for technique correction. Helpful but not always essential.
Extra Features
- Ballet barres – Useful for ballet, barre workouts, or warm-ups
- Air conditioning – Crucial in Melbourne’s summer heat
- Changing rooms & bathrooms – Especially helpful for group sessions or long rehearsals
How To Save Money When Booking A Dance Studio
- Hourly rates vary by location and size. Studios in the CBD tend to be pricier, while suburban venues offer more space for less.
- Off-peak bookings (midday or early mornings) can be more affordable than evenings and weekends.
- Recurring bookings for instructors or long-term renters may unlock discounted rates—ask the venue manager.
