MEET THE DIRECTOR

Ludmilla Wulandari

Ludmilla is the heart behind Valiente Dance, a Melbourne-based school founded in 2020 and dedicated to social dancing and performing.

A soulful Mambo lover, Ludmilla's dance is a living expression of music, culture, and freedom. With over 15 years of experience, she flows effortlessly through styles like Salsa, Cha Cha, Pachanga, Bachata, and other Latin styles — blending her deep musicality with the urban rhythms of hip hop and the graceful storytelling of her Indonesian roots.

Her artistry has lit up stages and studios across Australia and beyond — teaching, performing, choreographing, and judging at festivals, competitions, and community events. As a coach, she's guided dancers to shine in showcases and win on competitive floors. As a social dancer, she co-creates moments with whomever she's dancing with, making sure that each dance is a unique experience.

Across the stage, the studio, and the social dance floor, Ludmilla's warmth and passion are reflected in every step. Don't miss the chance to experience her energy in her classes, and definitely ask her for a dance when you go out social dancing!
