At Dance Amor, we believe that every person has a rhythm waiting to be discovered. Our story began with a vision to create more than just a dance studio; we wanted to build a sanctuary in the heart of Adelaide where movement leads to confidence and strangers become a community.
Between us, we bring decades of expertise to the floor. Oscar, an accredited DanceSport Australia Coach with over 20 years of experience, has mastered 16 different dance styles and trained with global legends like Eddie Torres and Fernando Sosa. Getty joined the journey in 2009, bringing a deep passion for Salsa, Bachata, and Waltz, along with a unique gift for helping beginners overcome the "first-day jitters." Together, we’ve combined our backgrounds to create a teaching style that is as professional as it is personal.
Why We Are Passionate About Teaching
For us, the most rewarding part of our work isn’t the awards or the professional accolades—it’s the "lightbulb moment." We love teaching because we get to watch the transformation that happens when a student stops overthinking their feet and starts feeling the music.
Whether we are helping a couple prepare for their dream wedding dance or guiding a complete beginner through their first Salsa steps, our goal is to make dance accessible. We know that starting something new can be intimidating, which is why we’ve dedicated our careers to creating a "judgment-free zone" where the focus is on joy, self-expression, and the simple fun of moving together.
What Makes the Dance Amor Experience Special
Something most people don't realize about our craft is that great dancing isn't about memorizing long sequences; it’s about understanding the "language" of lead and follow. We use a unique methodology designed to fast-track your progress by focusing on the four essential pillars: patterns, footwork, musicality, and body movement.
This approach has allowed us to help hundreds of students transition from having "two left feet" to becoming confident social dancers. Some have even gone on to become professional instructors themselves!
