VLS is the best mambo dance school in Melbourne! I feel privileged to have Almendra and Richie here!! I have learnt so much, and continue to grow in my mambo journey. Not only are the classes fun, but also have met so many wonderful people along the way.

Almendra and Ritchie are some of the most talented Mambo dancers in the world, and we are so lucky to have them here in Australia. Class is always inclusive, positive and encouraging, and my technique has improved so much since starting with VLS! If you want to try Mambo in Melbourne, VLS is the place to go!

My favourite salsa classes in Melbourne. Almendra y Richie are world class, while at the same time extremely charismatic, passionate and are one of the few instructors in Australia that actually teach people how to DANCE and not just learn steps and moves.

Almendra and Richie make salsa dance come alive! Every class is a delightful journey into the world of rhythm, movement, and pure joy. Dancing with them and seeing my dance friends’ happy faces is my favourite pastime.

A community that stays

I joined for dance but ended up trying strength and yoga. Having it all on one membership means I actually go — there's always something on, no matter what my week looks like.

The teachers are incredible. Every class is run by someone who actually cares about what they teach. It feels like joining a bunch of small communities, not a faceless gym.

I used to stop and start all the time. Since joining the network I haven't missed a week — when life gets in the way, I just shift to something else.
