Can I choose the song or learn my bias's dance?
Private classes let you pick your song, while open classes teach a highlight routine the studio chooses.
Song choice is the main difference between private and group formats. In the Hongdae private session you choose any song, for example BTS, BLACKPINK, aespa or KPop Demon Hunters. The Jamsil private class lets you choose the song, difficulty and pace. The Jonggak class sends a list of 10-15 recent K-pop songs after booking and you pick one.
How to request a song
Message the studio when you book and name the song you want. A private format is the safest way to get your track. The Gangnam studio runs open classes in English and private classes in Korean, English, Mandarin, Russian and French, so you can ask in your own language.
Book the K-pop Dance Class with Video in Gangnam private option for that.

Which K-pop Dance Class in Seoul Suits Foreigners, Adults and Kids?
Every class here teaches in English and welcomes beginners. Adults fit all of them, and for kids the private Jonggak class takes ages 6-80.
Instructions are given in English and no dance experience is required. Age limits differ. The Gangnam class is not suitable for children under 13, the Hongdae class not for children under 7, and the private Jonggak class lists ages 6-80. The Jamsil class lists no age limit, and its 70-minute open class leaves the afternoon free for Lotte World.
Who should skip it
If you want professional-level training or a multi-day programme, a single 70-minute to 2-hour tourist session is not it. Travellers who will not dance on camera should know that every class here ends with a video shoot. The Jonggak class also asks for at least a moderate level of physical fitness.
How Do I Choose the Best K-pop Dance Class in Seoul?
Choose by location first, then by how long you want to dance, and pay a little more only if the video shoot format matters to you.
Every class includes video and free cancellation, so location, length and song choice are what set them apart. Each one rates 4.8 or higher from at least 37 reviews.
Quick picks
Short on budget, take the $38 class near Lotte World Tower. Want the Hongdae area, take the $50 class there. Travellers who want the longest session and a shoot at the Kpop Center should book the $65 two-hour class. The $57 Gangnam class is the most reviewed option with 241 reviews at a 4.8 rating.
Plan the rest of the day with K-pop tours in Seoul.
How can I learn to dance K-pop?
Book a beginner class in Seoul that teaches a highlight routine step by step, then practise with the edited video you take home.
A 70-minute to 2-hour class teaches you the hook of a song, and the video lets you keep drilling it afterwards.
Getting more out of one class
Wear trainers and comfortable clothes, arrive early to warm up, and film yourself during free practice moments when the instructor allows it. Repetition in class plus the edited video afterwards is the fastest way for a beginner to hold on to a routine.
