Hi, I’m so glad to have you here!! I am Teleah, a single mum of a 4 – going on 24 little girl Presley, who absolutely lights my life.
I am a proud Maiawali & Pitta Pitta Aboriginal Woman and have called Gold Coast home for over 20 years. I have been in the dance industry for 28 years, trained in most genres and have been teaching dance for over 17 years.



I understand the many physical, mental, and emotional health benefits dance, music and movement brings to your life.
Growing up living with an extended family member (I count her as my sister, regardless of blood) with special needs, I saw firsthand the positive changes and confidence that dance brought into her world.
I want to provide those opportunities to everyone, especially those living with disabilities. Completing my Human Service & Social work degree at Griffith University provided me with further knowledge and skills in best practice when working with clients with mental health issues and disabilities. Our happiness is our own responsibility, but it helps doing something that you love that is proven to boost your mood and release endorphins. It’s important to be surrounded positive people and who support us to be and love ourselves, just as we are.
Our Story
What they say
“My daughter and I started when she was only 4 weeks old. We didn’t miss a week, with most weeks doubling up and attending both Tuesday and Thursday classes!

“Mini & me classes are the highlight of our week- fun dancing, great workout, oldschool music and a comfortable environment to get a bit silly. I was quite nervous to go at first and Teleah was warm and welcoming, remembering our name each time and introducing us to the class. Im always so surprised at how happy the babies are and how much they love the music/ dance. Highly recommend!“

“I could not rate this class more highly!! After my first class I couldn’t stop smiling. Teleah’s energy is next level infectious that it makes the 1hr class feel like 5 minutes! Such a great way to exercise without feeling like you’re exercising!
