Imagine stepping into a lively dance studio in Seoul, where you’re greeted warmly by energetic instructors eager to teach you some of the most popular K-pop choreography. For $46, you can spend about 90 minutes learning real K-pop moves in a friendly, no-pressure environment that welcomes all levels — especially beginners with little or no dance experience. Conducted in English, the class is perfect for travelers who want to connect with Korean pop culture in a hands-on way. You’ll leave not only with new moves but also with photos and videos of your performance, making it a standout souvenir.

What we love most about this experience is the authentic teaching approach — your instructor is a professional dancer actively working in Korea, ensuring you’re learning real K-pop choreography rather than simplified steps. Plus, the opportunity to capture your performance on video creates a fun memory that you can share long after you’ve returned home. Another highlight is the group setting, which fosters a relaxed vibe perfect for solo travelers, friends, or even couples looking for a lively cultural activity.

That said, a potential consideration is the physical nature of the class. While it’s beginner-friendly, it still involves some light stretching and movement, so a moderate level of physical fitness is recommended. If you’re not used to dancing or moving around a lot, just be prepared to go at your own pace and have fun.

This tour suits K-pop fans, dance enthusiasts, or anyone curious about Korean pop culture wanting a memorable activity that’s both entertaining and interactive. It’s especially ideal if you’re traveling solo or with friends who enjoy lively, creative experiences.

A closer look at what to expect

While in Seoul, here are other experiences we've covered

A Warm Welcome and Introduction

Your experience begins at the meet-up point in Seoul, specifically at b1, 17 World Cup buk-ro 5ga-gil, Mapo-gu. Here, you’ll meet your instructor and fellow dance enthusiasts in a friendly environment. The small group size — capped at 12 travelers — ensures personalized attention and a relaxed atmosphere. We appreciated how the instructor, as described in reviews, was enthusiastic, patient, and clear. Vanessa shared, “she was really patient with us and made sure we understood the importance of each move,” making even the most dance-challenged feel comfortable.

Warm-Up and Stretching

The class kicks off with light stretching, which helps prevent injury and gets your body ready for movement. It’s a good chance to loosen up and get comfortable, especially if you’re new to dance or physical activity.

Learning the Choreography

The instructor then breaks down the choreography into manageable steps, demonstrating each move slowly before speeding up to match the song. You’ll focus on a popular K-pop track — with options like Soda Pop, Golden, or Like Jennie, depending on what’s available that day. The step-by-step instruction makes it easy to follow, even if you’ve never danced before. Nicole shared, “Our instructor was energetic, welcoming, and incredibly informative,” which helped her feel confident in her abilities.

Practice and Performance

Once everyone has learned the individual moves, it’s time to practice together, gradually putting the sequence to music. The goal isn’t perfection but fun. The instructor encourages you to enjoy yourself and bring your own energy to the routine. As Vanessa noted, “even with little dance experience, we felt encouraged and had a blast.”
