About Us
We are a dance school based in Ravenhall (Caroline Springs area) in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne.
We offer classes to students from 2 years old through to adults. Our studio specializes in hip-hop dance styles and we provide the right teachers to train students in the dance fundamentals of hip hop. Whether it's for fun, fitness or to participate in competitions; we cater for all from beginner to advanced levels.

Our Vision
Lighthouse Studios was established with the intention to empower kids and teenagers to achieve strong mental and physical wellbeing. Our directors and faculty team have a passion to inspire and bring out the best in our students. We aim to provide training at an elite level, in order to equip students with the skills they need to gain self-confidence and to be the best they can be not only as a dancer, but also as a person.

"Lighthouse Studios represents a safe space for every individual to freely express their creativity in all art forms."

Meet our Director
DINAH TEOFILO KOKO
Dinah has been dancing and teaching for over 15 years within some of Melbourne’s top Hip Hop dance crews including Hollabak, Urban Nation and Raw & Rugged.
Back in 2019, Dinah established her first business called Rising Queens. Her vision for this company was to use a combination of dance and mentorship to empower women from all walks of life. Rising Queens became highly recognised in the Western and South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne because of Dinah's passion in creating environments that embraced and celebrated women of all ethnics, ages, shapes and sizes.
Now as the owner of Lighthouse Studios, Dinah’s vision is to provide a safe place that encourages every individual to freely express themselves in all art forms.


Pillars of Lighthouse Studios
INTEGRITY | PERSERVERANCE | HUMILITY | RESPECT
We believe in raising dancers to not only be great performers, but to learn core values that they can apply in and outside the studio. These four pillars represent what we stand for and what we encourage each student to carry. Our heart is to see this next generation empowered and equipped to lead, grow and achieve their dreams.
