Embrace the flame

Why dance with us?

We are a Christian Dance Ministry 

We offer a unique experience with some key points of difference


Music

The music we use is not just clean and child-friendly, but the lyrics and meaning of the songs inspire faith and goodness. 

Modesty

The uniform and costume choices are modest and respect the dignity of the human person. 

Purpose

The aim of Dance on Fire is to praise God by creating artwork with our bodies. 

In sharing this with others, we hope to share the love of God.

Location

Harkaway Hills College

20 Abeckett Rd, Narre Warren North VIC

At the ELC building

*If you haven't been there before, please note you will need to take the first left on A'Beckett Road (if coming from Belgrave-Hallam Rd) and go straight down to the end pass the roundabout. You will see a big parking lot and some school buildings. We will be in the light blue building facing the parking lot.

Classes

In class we will use techniques from a mix of dance styles including ballet, jazz, contemporary & hiphop/funk. This technical basis, along with physical conditioning, will provide Dance on Fire students with the ability to create beautiful artwork with their bodies.

At the heart of this dance school is the flame of the Holy Spirit; as such, classes will contain Christian content through conversation, music and prayer.

Who are we?

Dance on Fire has began with a vision to teach students the skills to help them create art with their bodies through dance, inspired by the Holy Spirit. 

OUR DANCE TEACHERS

Isabelle Lawless grew up dancing - ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop/funk and many other styles. She danced for 15 years and trained for Advanced level examinations, as well as completing Dance units 3/4 as a subject for VCE. She then began her teacher certification in the Cecchetti method, before family life took centre stage. Isabelle has 7 precious children, 3 boys and 4 girls who all love to dance. As a child, she created many concerts at home using her brothers as (unwilling) students. A previous Zumba instructor, she then ran her own ballet classes for pre-school and primary school-aged children (called Free to Dance) for a short time in 2018 before taking extended maternity leave.

The founder of Dance on Fire in 2023, Isabelle is amazed to watch the flame grow brighter - Come Holy Spirit! 

Stephanie de Niese is an experienced Dance Teacher with over 15 years of teaching inTheatrical Dance, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, and Hip Hop. She is also a qualified Psychotherapist & Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy, uniquely integrating the mind-body connection into her dance classes. Additionally, with 11 years of experience as a Group Fitness Instructor, she holds certifications in Zumba, Strong Nation, Barre pilates, Bbarreless, and Veraflow, blending fitness and movement in a way that enhances overall well-being.

Rooted in her Catholic faith and passion for mental and emotional well-being, Stephanie teaches dance as both an art form and a healing practice. She helps students connect with their emotions, build confidence, and find joy in movement, while promoting emotional and spiritual growth. Her classes offer a space where dance becomes a tool for self-expression, stress relief, and personal transformation.

Steph is joining us in 2025 and we are thrilled to have her on board to grow the flame!
