ABOUT US
RainbowClasses is proud to present Sydney’s LGBTIQ dance classes.
Our mission is to provide a safe, fun and completely inclusive Latin and Ballroom dance experience for all our amazing rainbow community.
RainbowClasses are the LGBTIQ community's alternative to mainstream dance classes.
We know how frustrating it can become to be taught only gender based dance roles, which is why our teaching style is completely unique. We give you the freedom and choice to learn either the 'leader' or 'follower' role - and in time, maybe you'll learn both!
So if you've ever wanted to Salsa, Cha Cha, Waltz, Tango, Rumba or Foxtrot in a safe and inclusive environment but have never found the place to do so, RainbowClasses is for you!
Brought to you by 'Dancing With The Stars' professional Brendon Midson.
3 Great Reasons
To Dance With Us!
1
SOCIAL
Come with your friends, your partner or just by yourself as we structure our classes to be very social and make it a priority to give everyone the chance to dance.
2
INCLUSIVE
Mainstream dance classes focus on gender based roles only and we know how frustrating this can be, so there will be no ‘Female’ steps or ‘Male’ steps in our classes. You'll have the choice to learn as either the leader or the follower; and in time maybe even learn both!
3
FUN
The fun and interactive tuition makes learning to lead or follow your dance partner an enjoyable experience and also provides you with a fitness alternative to yet another gym.
So if you’ve ever wanted to Salsa, Cha Cha, Waltz, Tango, Rumba or Foxtrot but have never found the place or space to do so comfortably, RainbowClasses is for you!
