The place to learn Latin Dance in Brisbane!

Passion for dance and culture is at the heart of our academy. We believe it’s not just about learning certain moves – it’s about feeling the passion and energy that makes up the dances.

Rio Rhythmics is the largest and longest running Latin Dance Academy in the Southern Hemisphere. We have taught over 35,000 students at our West End, Brisbane studios. Established in 1994 by Brazilian-born Tarcisio Teatini-Climaco, we pride ourselves on teaching our students to dance authentic Latin dance – the way Latin American locals do!

Our goal is to inspire, excite and educate you in Latin Dance and the beautiful culture that accompanies it!

Our unique and successful Latin Dance program is the culmination of many years of intensive research, teaching and development – not to mention our highly experienced instructors and personalised approach to instruction.

Our Brazilian born director, Tarcisio, is passionate about maintaining the authenticity of Latin Dance in all of our courses. In fact, he travels to Brazil once a year to ensure that our courses are inspired by current Brazilian dance culture.

We pride ourselves on taking students from absolute basics to complex steps and variations.
