Dance & Fitness Specialist
Laura Vinci
Founder & Director – Lux Studio
Dance isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I began ballet at four years old, but the rhythm was already part of me. From leading kids’ party competitions to instinctively sharing choreography with my peers, movement was always my language. By my teenage years, I was immersed in modern and Latin dance, earning my certification as a team choreography instructor. Since the age of 18, I’ve taught dance to kids and adults alike—creating vibrant performances and original choreography for community events, often performing myself. Eight years ago, I expanded into fitness, earning certifications as a Zumba Instructor, Strong Nation Instructor, and Aqua Zumba Instructor. I’ve taught dance and fitness every day for over 22 years, helping people transform their posture, strength, mobility, flexibility and mood—offering not just instruction, but empowerment. My fitness journey includes:
– Certificate III in Group Fitness Instruction
– Certificate IV in Personal Training
– Diploma in Advanced Personal Training
– Diploma in Fitness & Sport Centre Management I’ve studied business throughout my life and am a natural entrepreneur. Creating Lux Studio is more than a milestone—it’s a manifestation of my lifelong dream. Every detail of this space reflects my commitment to movement, connection, and transformation. The joy and gratitude from those I’ve worked with has illuminated my path, and I bring that energy back into every experience I share. 🌟 “Where movement meets purpose. Lux Studio”

Nany
kids ballet and K-pop Teacher
Meet Nany – Dancer, Teacher, and Creative Force! Dance has always been home for me — a space where I feel most alive, expressive, and empowered. It’s more than just movement; it’s where art meets athleticism. Through dance, I’ve learned determination, resilience, teamwork, and the power of hard work — values that continue to shape all areas of my life. What sets dance apart, and what I love most, is its unique ability to combine physical strength with creative expression. It’s both a discipline and a form of storytelling, and that’s what makes it so profoundly empowering. As a teacher, I’m passionate about sharing both my technical knowledge and my deep love for the art of dance. I find so much joy in watching students grow — refining their technique, discovering their artistry, and building confidence with each class. The most rewarding part for me? Seeing someone fall in love with dance the way I did.
Marissa

I discovered my love for dance at the age of eight, and that passion has shaped my life ever since. After high school, I pursued a Bachelor of Contemporary Dance and a Bachelor of Teaching at Deakin University. Over the past 20 years, I’ve been teaching dance in secondary schools, sharing a wide variety of styles with countless students. For me, dance is instinctive—when I hear music, movement flows naturally. My body responds before I even think. I believe dance is a powerful form of self-expression; it lifts your mood, enhances your fitness, and most of all, it’s simply joyful. — Marissa Aquilina
