Coogee Beach Dance
Come and dance with us at the beautiful Coogee Beach in Sydney, Australia! Whether you’re a pro dancer or new to the scene, we’d love to party with you.
It’s a free event, and we’ll be there 6 pm till 9pm dancing into the sunset!
Hello! I’m Joe Wauters and I’ll be hosting the event. If you have questions please email me or message via our social media links:
WHAT IS ALLSTEPS?
AllSteps is a social dance community. We fuse Latin partner dances with modern Pop, RnB, and Hip Hop music, to make social dancing fresh, fun, and inclusive.
WHAT DANCES DO WE DO?
• Two step based on Merengue from the Dominican Republic.
• Three step based on Salsa from Cuba and the Americas.
• And four step based on Bachata, also from the Dominican.
We won’t be playing any Latin songs, but the music is especially matched to the social styles you love.
WHAT MUSIC WILL WE PLAY?
We’ll play a range of modern Pop, RnB, and Hip Hop music, with two songs for each dance style: Two, Three, and Four Count. You can find our playlists on Spotify here.
Feel free to request songs if you feel they will go well with the crowd and vibe.
Feedback is always welcome, but please don’t complain about the music selection or frequency of style. We cater to many different tastes and types of dancer.
WHERE WILL WE BE?
We’ll be dancing on the platform above the John Lemarseny Boatshed at Coogee Beach. It’s a wide open space that juts out from the promenade, easy to find on Google Maps and right by the ocean. There’s plenty of great food around, beautiful sand, grass picnic areas, water bubblers, and refreshing ocean swims. There’s street parking nearby and public transport straight to the beach. Children and dogs (on leash) are welcome.
WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING?
Shoes! You can’t dance here in bare feet, thongs, or slides.
The concrete and sand is surprisingly smooth and nice to dance on, but you need some kind of proper shoe.
Sunblock.
Even in the late afternoon the UV is still high.
Layers if you tend to get cold.
Once the sun goes down the temperature can drop fast.
Don’t leave anything.
Respect the beach and don’t leave any trash. If you leave any belongings we won’t collect them for you at the end of the night.
