Gilkisons Dance Studio

Having not been here for about 30 years, I was looking forward to getting my boogie back on on a Friday nightDancers were new and great since last time and the vibe was great, however it seems they have not upgraded the stereo system from the 80s.The music was hard to hear and pick up the beat and the announcements from the DJ came across like I had 90 year old hearing. And I'm not 90!Every one was friendly and the night was still good but would have had a much better time with a crisp clear sound.

The doorway entrance is on Murry street not Erwin as maps would have you believe. It would be nice if the owner could update maps but apart from that I had a wanderfull night. Beautiful big studio to dance great DJ and music. Very friendly staff. Very nice people. 100% would recommend to everybody from experts and novices like me!

With 4 months before our wedding, we started dance lessons with Ryan.Ryan was so much fun, we would come into the lessons grumpy and leave laughing and upbeat.He was great at breaking down the steps and if we weren’t getting a move, he’d break it down in a different approach. He would always ask us if we had any questions and really took the time to get our moves looking good. I’m sure it was particularly frustrating when we hadn’t practiced but Ryan still managed to get 2 beginners learning a fast and fun routine!We hadn’t told any of our guests that we were doing lessons and it was the best surprise! We had so much fun showing off our routine and it was definitely the talk of the wedding. Highly recommend Ryan and Gilkinsons. We’ll definitely be back to learn new moves!

Ryan helped us organise our special event at Gilkisons and it was just brilliant from start to finish. It worked out exactly as we had planned and was so much fun. To learn to dance in a great environment with a equally patient & entertaining instructor, have fun and be at a great venue just ticks all the boxes. Will certainly be returning time and time again. Recommend to all. Thanks again!!! :)

Highly recommended. The learning pace is good and instructors are patient. Excellent place to go for those who are shy and new to dancing.A great selling point is that partners are not required and social dancing is available after lessons to solidify what was taught in class.

We took lessons with Chris for our wedding first dance and loved the experience. Chris is an excellent teacher and has a great sense of humour. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

My husband and I have wanted to take dancing lessons for years, and Gilkinsons doesn't disappoint! We're absolutely loving our Friday nights, its so much fun and fills us with confidence. If its something you've always wanted to do, this studio is a must!

We had lessons with Ryan at Gilkisons Dance Studio to learn the jive for our wedding, and he did such an awesome job teaching us and choreographing the perfect routine for our special day. It took a lot of convincing to get my husband to agree firstly to do the lessons and secondly to do a jive (of all dances!), but Ryan made it so much fun for us. There were lots of laughs along the way! He brought out the best in both our dance abilities. Learning to dance together was the most amazing experience for us and was an experience we’ll cherish forever. We’ll definitely be back for more lessons post-wedding. Thank you Ryan and Gilkisons Dance Studio!

A safe social environment to learn ballroom at your own pace. All teachers are friendly and the classes are structured in a way so you can learn at your own pace. I'm 5 years in and this is still one of my favourite places in Perth.

Atmosphere on Friday nights social dance is really joyful and friendly. The classes are a lot of fun too. We learn great technique from the start with experienced teachers so we can dance anywhere.
