Course Details

The five different dances have diverse origins and are danced to music of different tempos and have their own characteristic technique, however the common factor is that they are all danced by a couple in closed hold.

In the closed hold dances, the couples are required to maintain five areas of contact with each other, with the man’s left hand holding the woman’s right hand, the woman’s left elbow resting on the man’s right elbow, the woman’s left hand on the right upper arm of the man, the man’s right hand on the woman’s shoulder, and the right parts of their chests touching.

The dances travel round the ballroom in an anti-clockwise direction.

Dances in this style include:

Modern Waltz
Tango
Slow Foxtrot
Quickstep
Viennese Waltz

MarShere Dance Studios is the largest dance studio group in Victoria and Australia!

MarShere was established in 1981 by Mark & Sheryl O'Donoghue at a school hall in Burwood Heights, Melbourne. From it's first class, they have since developed a system of tuition based on family and caring. In having a family themselves, it allowed them to develop a special formula for not only the individual, but for the entire family.

What has made MarShere so successful is that this business is based on the three basic reasons why people dance: to learn, exercise, socialise. This focus that Mark and Sheryl have created has turned MarShere into one of the largest dance studio groups in Australia. Mark and Sheryl call it their "extended family".

MarShere has always been a family business and pride ourselves on the fact that each location is in it's own way a family, where it is fun to learn to dance in a comfortable and social environment.

Ballroom Dance

The media often misrepresents Modern Ballroom dancing as very formal and perhaps even a little stuffy. In reality, the dances themselves are neither. Dances are merely patterns of movements performed to a musical rhythm
