UNDRGRND Movement isn't confined to a single space. Our classes run across multiple environments — from our studio at 163 Ferry Rd, Southport, to the parks and beaches of the Gold Coast — because we believe movement should be as free as the people who practice it.
UNDRGRND Movement is Gold Coast's underground movement revolution — a studio in the heart of Southport dedicated to foundational movement for every body. Whether you are stepping onto a dance floor for the first time, returning to movement after injury, or looking for a creative physical practice that goes beyond the ordinary gym, UNDRGRND Movement offers a home for your journey. Located at 163 Ferry Rd, Southport, we serve the Gold Coast community with classes in dance, pole fitness, yoga, aerial arts, and recovery movement.
Most dance schools on the Gold Coast are built around performance and competition. UNDRGRND Movement is different. Our philosophy is rooted in personal transformation — building the kind of foundational movement literacy that changes how you live in your body every day. Our Southport studio welcomes complete beginners, people returning from injury, and anyone who has ever felt that movement spaces were not built for them.
Our flagship adult dance program, Afro Groove Foundations, is a beginner-friendly class inspired by Afrobeat and groove-based styles. It builds rhythm, coordination, lower body strength, and core stability through simple, repeatable movement patterns. No prior dance experience is required. Classes are held in Southport and are open to adults across the Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Bundall, and Main Beach.
Pole fitness is one of the most complete full-body workouts available, combining strength, flexibility, coordination, and artistry. Our Gold Coast pole fitness classes begin with Pole Fitness Foundations — a structured beginner program that teaches grip techniques, body positioning, basic spins, and safety protocols. Students progress at their own pace through Pole Flow and Pole Strength and Movement as their confidence and ability grow.
Our Southport studio provides a safe, supportive environment for pole fitness training. We believe that every person who walks through our doors deserves patient, expert instruction and a community that celebrates progress over perfection. Our Gold Coast pole fitness classes are open to adults of all fitness levels, and no prior experience is necessary to begin.
UNDRGRND Movement offers a range of yoga classes in Southport to suit every preference and experience level. Our yoga timetable includes Traditional Yoga, rooted in classical techniques; Modern Yoga, a contemporary approach designed for today's lifestyle; Yoga Fusion, which blends traditional practices with contemporary movement; and Aerial Yoga, where students experience yoga suspended in silk hammocks for a unique, decompressive practice.
Our Gold Coast yoga studio is designed for all levels. Whether you are a complete beginner exploring yoga for the first time or an experienced practitioner looking for a fresh approach, our Southport classes provide a welcoming, non-competitive environment. Yoga at UNDRGRND Movement is about connecting body and mind — not achieving the perfect pose.
Aerial arts are among the most physically and creatively rewarding movement practices available. Our Aerial Silks program teaches students to climb, wrap, and create stunning shapes using suspended fabric. This beginner-friendly class on the Gold Coast builds upper body strength, core stability, flexibility, and spatial awareness in a safe, structured environment. No prior experience is required — our instructors guide every student through each skill progression with individual attention and spotting.
For younger students, our Kids Aerial Silks and Kids Aerial Yoga programs bring the magic of aerial arts to children aged 8 to 16. These Gold Coast kids' aerial classes are taught with a strong emphasis on safety, fun, and age-appropriate skill development. Southport families across the Gold Coast trust UNDRGRND Movement to provide high-quality, supervised aerial training for their children.
UNDRGRND Movement is one of the few Gold Coast studios to offer a dedicated Recovery Movement Dance program. This specialised class is designed for individuals recovering from injury, surgery, or physical and emotional stress. Using slow, mindful movement with controlled range of motion, the program supports a safe return to physical activity for people who have been inactive for extended periods.
Medical clearance from a healthcare provider is required before participating in Recovery Movement classes. This requirement exists to protect your safety and ensure that your instructor can tailor the class to your specific needs. UNDRGRND Movement works collaboratively with registered counsellors and healthcare professionals to provide a truly integrated approach to movement and rehabilitation on the Gold Coast.
UNDRGRND Movement offers a comprehensive range of kids' classes for children aged 4 to 16 across the Gold Coast. Our children's programs include Creative Dance for ages 4 to 10, Dance Moves (Urban Mix) for hip hop and urban styles, Modern Contemporary (Rhythm and Motion) for expressive movement, Kids Yoga, Kids Aerial Yoga, Kids Aerial Silks, and Pole Fitness Kids Foundations — taught in a gymnastics style focused on strength, coordination, and safety.
All Gold Coast kids' classes at UNDRGRND Movement are taught by qualified instructors in a safe, supervised environment. Our Southport studio is conveniently located for families across the Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, and surrounding suburbs. Term packages and casual drop-in options are available.
One of the things that makes UNDRGRND Movement unique on the Gold Coast is our multi-environment approach to movement. Classes are not confined to the studio at 163 Ferry Rd, Southport. We also run sessions in local parks and on the beaches of the Gold Coast — because we believe that movement should be as natural and free as the environment around us. This approach is particularly powerful for recovery movement and yoga, where the natural environment adds an additional dimension of calm and connection.
Our Gold Coast movement studio serves students from Southport, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Bundall, Main Beach, and surrounding areas. Whether you are looking for a dance school, a yoga studio, aerial classes, or a recovery movement program, UNDRGRND Movement in Southport is your home for foundational movement on the Gold Coast.
