About this studio
Dance Lumiere runs two studios serving Melbourne's inner west: Lumiere West at 67 Austin St, Seddon, and Lumiere East at Our Lady's Hall, 14 Bedford Rd, Ringwood. Both teach ballroom, Latin and New Vogue dancing at all levels.
At Lumiere West (Seddon), group classes run seven days a week. The schedule includes Intro to Dance on Wednesday at 7pm, Next Step on Wednesday at 7pm, a weekly mini-social on Wednesday from 7:45–8:15pm, Kids dance class on Thursday at 4:30pm, Teens dance class on Thursday at 5:15pm, Silver Latin Medal on Friday at 6:30pm, Crystal 1 Medal on Friday at 6:30pm, Silver Ballroom Medal on Friday at 7:15pm, New Vogue on Friday at 8pm, and Ballroom Skills & Conditioning on Sunday at 10am (all ages), plus Latin Skills & Conditioning on Sunday at 10:45am (all ages).
Lumiere East (Ringwood) operates Tuesday and Thursday evenings. For summer 2025, they offer Intro to Dance on Tuesday at 7pm and a Competitors Practice Class on Thursday at 8:30pm, which includes Ballroom, New Vogue and Latin sections at staggered times (Ballroom 8:30, NV 9:10 approx, Latin 9:25 approx). A fuller range of group classes is coming in January 2026.
Private lessons are available at both venues, designed for competitive dancers, medal dancers, pro-am competitors, and beginners nervous about group settings. Lessons are 45 minutes and offer one-on-one focus on technique, performance preparation or specific elements of dance. The studio explains medals as a series of graded performances where you learn set dances for each level—for example, Crystal Ballroom covers Waltz and Quickstep—then perform for an examiner who gives feedback and a grade. Successful completion lets you progress to the next level.
Wedding dance services are also available. The studio welcomes dancers of all fitness levels and does not require you to bring a partner to classes, though you can if you wish.
