RatPack Dance Academy

Welcome to RatPack Dance Academy, located at Salisbury Park Terrace in Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest for dance enthusiasts of all ages and levels. Led by our Director, Rob, who has been dancing and competing since 2000 and teaching for over 15 years, we offer a relaxed, fun, and friendly environment where you can learn at your own pace.

Rob is a strong supporter of the Rock 'n' Roll community and has been involved in organizing and participating in dance demonstrations for various events. Some notable demonstrations include the opening of the Special Olympics, Sydney Masters Games, Paradise Church Xmas Show, Clipsal 500, Adelaide 36ers, and many other festivals and events. His extensive training and dance experience include Ballroom, Salsa, Tap, Ballet, Jazz Ballet, and, most prominently, Rock 'n' Roll and Swing Jive. He even trained with the Zig Zag Circus to enhance his acrobatic skills and knowledge.

At RatPack Dance Academy, we welcome dancers of all ages and levels. All you need is comfortable clothing, closed-in shoes, and a willingness to learn and have fun! We also offer our services for functions, demonstrations, and workshops.

Dancing is not only a great way to keep fit and healthy but also a way to take care of our feet, which are crucial in maintaining overall body health. That's why Rob recommends Bleyer and Trambas shoes, as they provide the necessary support and comfort. Bleyer shoes, founded in 1954, were initially manufactured for gymnastics and later expanded into swing dancing. Their Polyurethane sole cushions the foot and allows for easy spinning with its spin spot. The leather upper molds to your feet for a superior fit and feel. Trambas shoes, established in 1983, offer three different types of soles - Resin, Leather, and Lindy Sole. Each shoe is crafted with the highest quality materials and attention to detail, and they are proudly made in sunny Queensland, Australia.

Join us at RatPack Dance Academy and experience the joy of dancing in a supportive and welcoming community. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, we have something for everyone. Start your dance journey with us today!
