Dance has the power to transform lives. It builds confidence in shy children, strength in growing teenagers, and community among adults who thought they'd left their dancing days behind. We believe that power belongs to everyone — regardless of age, background, or experience.
One vision. One studio. Thousands of stories.
Leigh-Anne Gorrie founded Hooked On Dance in 2010 with a single vision: to create a dance studio in Randburg where every student feels seen, challenged, and celebrated.
From the very first class, the philosophy was simple: technique matters, but the person behind the technique matters more. We train dancers — but more than that, we raise confident, disciplined, creative human beings who happen to be brilliant at dancing.
Our three guiding values
Community
Dance is better together. We are a family — students, parents, and teachers who celebrate each other's wins and support each other through challenges. Walk through our doors and you belong.
Excellence
We hold our students to high standards because we know what they're capable of. From foundational technique to competition-level performance, we push for excellence in a way that inspires rather than intimidates.
Joy
We never forget why we dance. Classes at Hooked On Dance are energetic, encouraging, and genuinely fun. If our students aren't smiling at some point in every class, we're doing something wrong.

Tap Dancing has deep historical roots from its West African and Irish roots through to the living art form it is today. It is simultaneously a dance form and a percussion instrument, which means every performance is a live musical event — the sound cannot be faked or pre-recorded without betraying the whole point. The dancer's body is the band.
Read MoreModern Classes
Modern dance fundamentally changed what dance means — transforming it from pure entertainment into a serious art form capable of political commentary, psychological depth, and philosophical inquiry. Its influence is felt in everything from Broadway to music videos to Olympic gymnastics.
