About Legs Dance Studio

My name is Michelle Heine and I was born in Zambia. I, myself, began dancing at a very young age at the June Cloete Dance Academy at age 3. I joined the Zimbabwe national ballet company at 16 and by the age of 17, I was the youngest dancer to be offered a contract at Sun City, South Africa. Unable to find the quality of classes I was looking for, I eventually began teaching dance to my children in my garage in Calwell and ever since then, the studio has grown, improved and seen thousands of shy young faces become capable young adults over more than 3 decades of ‘Legs.
