In February 2024, the dance scene in Perth, Australia, experienced a seismic shift as The Spot dance studio played host to three renowned heels dance instructors from Los Angeles. Cisco, Mel B, and Kyla Fajardo graced the studio as part of The Spot’s groundbreaking ELEVATE series, a revolutionary initiative designed to challenge dancers to push beyond their limits and elevate their skills, technique, and artistry—all while donning their heels.

The ELEVATE series represents a bold departure from traditional dance training, encouraging participants to step outside of their comfort zones and embrace the intensity of heel dancing. For those unfamiliar, “heels” is a dynamic style of dance that incorporates elements of jazz, ballet and vogue movement, all performed in high heels. It demands strength, precision, and confidence, offering dancers a unique opportunity to explore femininity, power, and self-expression through movement.
The arrival of Cisco, Mel B, and Kyla Fajardo marked the inaugural installment of The Spot’s ELEVATE series, promising an unparalleled learning experience for dancers of all levels. Each instructor brought their own distinct style and expertise to the studio, enriching the curriculum with diverse perspectives and techniques.
Kyla Fajardo, known for her electrifying choreography and infectious energy, brought a sense of sexy flair to the classes. Her dynamic teaching style pushed dancers to embrace their inner fierceness and unleash their full potential on the dance floor and she offered invaluable insights into the nuances of performance and stage presence
Mel B, a seasoned performer with a background in classical dance, her classes were a masterclass in confidence-building, empowering dancers to command attention and captivate audiences with every step, whilst also instilling in the dancers the importance of technique and training.
Cisco, a star in the heels dance community, brought a fresh perspective to the studio with his innovative choreography and meticulous attention to detail. His classes were a testament to the artistry of heel dancing, emphasizing fluidity, grace, and musicality in every movement.
The response to the ELEVATE series was nothing short of extraordinary, with dancers flocking to The Spot studio to participate in these groundbreaking classes. From beginners eager to explore a new style of dance to seasoned professionals seeking to refine their skills, participants hailed from all walks of life, united by a shared passion for dance and a desire to challenge themselves in new ways.
The success of the ELEVATE series underscored The Spot’s commitment to innovation and excellence in dance education. By bringing world-class instructors like Cisco, Mel B, and Kyla Fajardo to Perth, The Spot studio not only elevated the local dance scene but also inspired dancers to dream bigger, train harder, and reach new heights of artistry.
