Hayley Allen-Freeman

STUDIO OWNER / CHOREOGRAPHER / COACH / TEACHER / MENTOR / Movement practitioner / DISABILITY Dance coach

With over 38 years of experience in Ballroom, Latin American and New Vogue dance, Hayley Allen-Freeman is a passionate, dynamic force in Australia’s dance industry. Beginning her journey at just 7 years old, she first thrived in jazz and physical culture before discovering her lifelong love—ballroom dancing—at Foley’s Dance Studio in her hometown of Wagga Wagga.

By the age of 10, Hayley was already competing nationally, and by 19, she was representing Australia on the international stage, earning top placements in major Ballroom, Latin, and 10-Dance competitions. Throughout the 2000s, she ranked as one of Australia’s leading 10-dance couples and was a consistent finalist at the prestigious Australian DanceSport Championships.

Hayley’s dance career expanded beyond competition to include theatrical and cabaret performances. She was cast as a Feature Ballroom Dancer in Dion & Randall’s Tempo Rouge at Jupiters Casino and spent five years as a Star Performer aboard the world’s most luxurious 6-star cruise liners, bringing joy and elegance to audiences across the globe.

In 2014, Hayley’s versatility and charisma landed her a coveted spot in the Top 50 of So You Think You Can Dance Australia, where she was handpicked from thousands of dancers and featured prominently on the national stage.

Inspired by a deep desire to give back to her local community, Hayley returned to Wagga Wagga to establish Luxe Dance Studio—a welcoming space where students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities can share in the joy of movement.

Hayley is also a certified Movement Practitioner (Dance Health Alliance / DanceWise) and a qualified Disability Support & Inclusion Coach, allowing her to deliver evidence-based programs that support physical and cognitive wellbeing for mature movers, seniors, and people of all abilities. Her classes are inclusive, music-driven, and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel the magic of dance—regardless of age, ability, or experience.

With over 25 years of professional experience, Hayley’s mission is clear: to inspire, uplift, and connect people through dance. Luxe Dance Studio proudly embodies her open-door philosophy—a space where joy, creativity, and community come together on the dance floor.
