About CareToDance – Sydney’s Premium Adult Social Dance Company
Dancing can change your life. That’s the belief CareToDance was built on.
Since 2014, CareToDance has helped adults across Sydney learn to dance — building confidence, staying active, preparing for weddings, meeting new people and bringing more fun into every week. We are not a competition dance school. We are an adult social dance company, offering premium, personalised private dance lessons and social dance classes in Sydney. Most of our students walk in as complete beginners — many feeling nervous before their first lesson. Our job is to make dancing feel achievable, enjoyable and tailored to the person in front of us.
Book a Planning SessionMeet Our Founder, Cristian Basescu
CareToDance was founded by Cristian Basescu, whose dancing life began as a child in Romania and became a calling in Italy, where he trained like an athlete — often four or more hours a day, for over twenty years — competing almost every weekend. Along the way he won Italian and European championship titles, competed internationally, appeared on Dancing with the Stars, and went on to coach, judge and mentor dance professionals and studio owners across Australia.
When Cristian arrived in Australia, he saw a gap: there was no premium, personalised social dance experience made for adults. There were dance schools, but very few places where adults could learn properly, feel comfortable, join a community and enjoy dancing without feeling judged or intimidated. CareToDance was created to be that place.
The CareToDance Method
We take the skill of dancing and put structure around it, so every student progresses towards their own goals — confidence, fitness, social connection, a wedding dance, staying mentally active, or simply having more fun.
There are no generic packages or one-size-fits-all courses. Every new student begins with a Planning Session, where we take the time to understand your goals, confidence level, learning style, schedule and experience. From there, we create a personalised program — and our instructors pre-plan every lesson.
Private Dance Lessons
Private tuition is the foundation of our teaching. Every lesson is built around your strengths, goals and learning style — which is why our students progress faster.
Group Dance Classes
Our group classes are small, level-matched and designed as guided practice — never crowded rooms with steps called from the front. Couples can stay together, and singles are always welcome.
Wedding Dance Lessons
Every couple is different, every song is different, and every vision is different. Whether you want something simple and natural or polished and creative, we build your wedding dance around the two of you — never a fixed package.
We teach more than 30 styles across Ballroom and Latin, but the focus is always social dancing. No partner needed. No experience needed. Just be open to trying.
More Than a Dance Studio
CareToDance is a community. Our studio parties, social nights and premium events — held at venues including Sydney Aquarium, Taronga Zoo and La Montage — mean you decide how involved you want to be. Some students love their weekly lessons; others become part of the wider CareToDance social family.
The studio itself is designed to feel premium but welcoming. Relax in the lounge, enjoy a coffee or tea, practise, socialise or simply feel at home before and after your lessons.
We do not just teach dancing. We teach people. We understand how each student learns, then we build the dancing around them.
