Hey! I’m Eleni - a California girl who found a new home in Adelaide, and somehow brought a little bit of that West Coast line dance spirit along for the ride.

​

Moving here after seven years in Sydney, I was missing something deeply familiar: line dancing. It’s the thing that always made me feel grounded, joyful, and connected — a little slice of home from California. At first, it was just about scratching my own itch and easing the homesickness.

​

Then something amazing happened. What started as a small, slightly selfish trial on July 4th 2024 exploded into a movement that’s now bringing people together from all walks of life. Saddle & Stomp isn’t just a dance class — it’s a community where strangers become friends, confidence is built step by step, and joy is found in every stomp.

​

Why is line dancing booming right now? Because it’s pure magic: inclusive, easy to start, and full of genuine connection — exactly what we’ve all been craving after the isolation and endless screen time. Tradies, students, parents, retirees — you name it, they’re all here, finding belonging and having fun in a space where everyone fits.

​

Beyond the fun, line dancing transformed my health and mindset. It’s a workout disguised as a party—sweat, smiles, and self-confidence all rolled into one. It’s brain-boosting, heart-healthy, and stress-melting. Plus, it reminds us all to stand taller and take up space—boots and all.

​

But here’s the bigger vision driving Saddle & Stomp: it’s not just about dance steps or great music—it’s about creating a positive ripple in our community. I’m passionate about using this platform to support youth and young adults, to build a safe, vibrant space where people can connect, grow, and thrive. Whether through dance, events, or outreach, I want to empower people to find confidence, belong, and make meaningful connections that extend beyond the dance floor.

​

Whether you’re shy or bold, 18 or 80, a complete beginner or a seasoned mover, there’s a place for you here. Saddle & Stomp is where you can be yourself, find your tribe, and just have a damn good time.

​

We’re growing fast, with new lessons, social nights, and a dream to one day have our very own home base. We’re pacing it right because this is about building something sustainable, meaningful, and full of heart—not just riding a trend.

​

So, ready to stomp with us? Come join the fun, make friends, and rediscover the power of dance to connect, uplift, and energise your life.
