Our Story:

Thirteen years ago was the start of Alegria Dance Centre… A small dance studio with only one dance teacher, me (Justin). In Spanish, Alegria means joy and happiness. Our mission is to bring joy and happiness to every dance service we provide at our beautiful and non-intimidating studio. The aim was a simple one: Can we get more people dancing socially in Melbourne? We wanted to create a community of dancers that were supportive of one another, and that had one amazing quality in common, dancing for fun and joy! We hosted our first Medal Day in our very small dance studio space with only 3 students performing at this event in 2010 (our first year). It was at least a start to what Alegria might become 🙂

10 years later, Alegria was running 4 events per year for our students, their family and friends. 2 Exhibition Gala Balls with 150 to 200 people attending per event, and 2 Medal Nights in our larger dance studio that we moved into in 2015. In 2019, we were having up to 45 performances on our Exhibition Gala Ball evenings. I was ecstatic with how Alegria had grown into, and even exceeded my expectations of what kind of dance studio my team and I were creating. After Covid, we are so happy to say that we're still open and doing what we love. Our beautiful, loyal dancing family are still here, and loving the amazing culture we've created. Therefore, now in 2023, we decided to rebrand and update our overall look to reflect the amazing dance studio that Alegria is today. We're now known as Alegria Dance Co, proudly still teaching you to dance after 13 years of business and happy to bring even more joy and happiness for many years to come! Alegria Dance Co
