Dance Classes in Sydney CBD & Surrounds

How Dance Classes Actually Work

A dance class gets a group laughing and moving without anyone needing to be good at it, and the city centre makes a sensible meeting point when guests are coming from across Sydney. The dance operators on Party Hero for Sydney CBD & Surrounds so far take two different approaches. The Golden Era Dance Studio is a boutique pole and burlesque studio upstairs at 207 Clarence Street, where your group has the room to itself. Aleksandra Dance is run by a classically trained belly dancer who teaches weekly classes on Bathurst Street and brings a performance-and-workshop format to the venue of your choice.

How the two compare:

Getting there: The Golden Era Dance Studio is a few minutes on foot from Town Hall station and close to bus and metro routes. Aleksandra takes her workshops out to venues around Sydney, so you pick the location.
The experience: Golden Era parties run for an hour and a half, with a lesson shaped to the occasion and a performance from your instructor. Aleksandra opens with a costumed show, then teaches hip shimmies and body waves.
Group size: Golden Era parties are priced for a minimum of eight, with a flat rate for smaller groups, and Aleksandra's hens package covers four to 15, with larger groups quoted individually.
Booking lead time: Golden Era parties run on Saturdays from 4pm, with some Friday and Sunday afternoons, and a $100 non-refundable deposit secures the date. For Aleksandra, lock in your venue first.
Food and drinks: Golden Era includes one bottle of bubbles for every four guests. With Aleksandra, food and drinks come from the venue you choose.

Golden Era parties are $50 per person, or a flat $400 per group for fewer than eight, and participants must be over 18. Aleksandra's hens package starts from $600 per group, standalone workshops from $55 per person, and corporate options run from a $400 performance to a $1,200 team-building package.

Ten competition-grade 38mm brass poles can be set to spin or static, spaced well apart so each person has room to move.
Styles include pole dancing, burlesque, floorwork, booty shaking and the Charleston, among others.
Beginners are fine in shorts and a t-shirt, and heels are optional.
The studio describes itself as an inclusive space for all bodies and genders, which suits mixed groups.

Aleksandra Dance

Corporate options run from a $400 performance to a $1,200 package pairing a 30-minute show with a 30-minute workshop.
