About World Of Dance

Our main goal is to assist our students in achieving their personal goals and to motivate them to improve and challenge themselves week after week – whether your interest lies in competitive dancing, improving your fitness or dancing just for fun, we will help you get there.

So why dancing? Dance forms, from hip hop to classical, have shown to have amazing health benefits. These include lowering your risk of coronary heart disease, decreasing blood pressure, strengthening the bones of your legs and hips, decreasing your stress levels and helping you manage your weight as you dance off those calories.

The reason dance is so appealing is due to its ever-evolving nature. Whilst other forms of exercise often lose their appeal due to their monotonous pattern, dancing remains a fresh challenge every time. A key element of this is that dance is all encompassing- you are never just doing ‘reps’. At each lesson you encounter different music, you are challenged with new steps, you are discovering your personal limitations and working through them with your instructor. These elements, coupled with your own emotions, means that each lesson is an experience and not just a routine.

The ‘dance movement’ has become more and more popular over the past three to four years, especially with well-known international dance programmes such as ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, ‘Dancing with the Stars’, and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. But the health benefits related to dance are truly where people get excited - so why not combine the pleasure of dance and fitness with us? You only need to google celebrities before and after their participation on the above-mentioned shows to see the results!

World of Dance has been structured to bring out the dancer in you. Studio instructors are all professionally-trained dancers that have been selectively chosen because of their passion for dance – we have chosen the best to help you bring out your best. The studio environment is relaxed and fun so that our students can achieve their goals and have an enjoyable experience at the same time.

Hayley Bennett, owner of World of Dance, has made dancing her life. Not only has she won the South African Strictly Come Dancing competition twice, she has also achieved the titles of highly acclaimed performer, choreographer, dancer and dance studio owner. Hayley is also currently training some of South Africa’s reigning Latin and freestyle Champions. Hayley’s passion for dance was discovered at a young age. Although an incredibly shy girl, Hayley was able to grow through the medium of dance and attributes much of her present-day success to the self-confidence and personal drive she was able to develop through her dancing.
