Taipei Dance Studios: Dance Like a K-Pop Star! 5 Taipei K-Pop Dance Classes Reviewed

HRC Dance Studio made a grand, luxurious first impression on Butter. Though the floor space isn't huge, the student environment is clean and fresh, and you can see the studio's outdoor pillars from the arcade, giving it a flagship-venue vibe.

Butter's session focused on developing a sense of rhythm, with the instructor starting from the basics and thoroughly teaching how to move with the music. It was easy to understand areas for improvement and how to correct them, and after several practice rounds, Butter could keep up with the instructor.

Overall, the instructor at this Taipei Dance Studios venue taught with great attention to detail, and the class atmosphere was joyful. Every part of the body got a workout. However, the front desk staff seemed a bit busy and slightly impatient when answering questions.

iDancestudio's hip-hop classes primarily focus on "performance classes" or "MV classes"; Apple's visit was for a single-session trial.

The class began with a warm-up, followed by a brief explanation of basic dance steps. Then, it quickly moved into the dance routine itself, as the goal of a "performance class" is to complete an entire song.

The instructor explained that students could practice at home if they fell behind and paused to answer questions. The small class size allowed the instructor to monitor each student's progress, though the pace was quite fast for beginners.

The instructors and assistants at iDancestudio are also skilled at filming and photography. The dance studio features well-lit mirrors, and at the end, students receive a video of their performance. After this Taipei Dance Studios class, Apple felt like she had fulfilled a star dream, striking a confident pose.

Butter chose a fundamental rhythm class for this experience. The instructor selected a song by pop queen Ariana Grande for the choreography.

New students at this Taipei Dance Studios venue receive a wristband, allowing instructors to easily identify and provide extra guidance to newcomers.

Throughout the class, the instructor consistently checked for questions. Even though Butter struggled to keep up, often missing beats or unable to execute the correct steps, the instructor patiently repeated the teaching until everyone could roughly perform the moves.

After class, the instructor kindly asked Butter if she felt comfortable, a thoughtful gesture that helped a beginner dancer relax and enjoy the fun of dancing.

BOOG Studio's schedule doesn't list class difficulty, as instructors adjust the lesson based on the students' skill level that day.

In the street dance class Apple attended, the warm-up was followed by basic moves, with the first hour dedicated to fundamental instruction. The latter half-hour incorporated music, making the class solid in its basics yet still challenging.

Apple found the atmosphere at this dance studio incredibly welcoming, with a very approachable instructor. Unlike some Taipei Dance Studios where instructors can have an intimidating presence, this venue fosters a relaxed environment.

Additionally, class sizes are small, allowing the instructor to provide detailed guidance and teach in a very easygoing manner. After class, everyone often stays to chat.

Merry Monarc's Gongguan dance studio boasts exquisite decor and design, with a friendly and courteous front desk staff always efficiently handling inquiries and requests.

This time, Butter tried a Girl Style class. The teaching method was very thorough: the instructor used one song for warm-up and another for the main choreography. Since the other students in the class were quite skilled, the instructor adjusted the pace to match them, moving a bit faster, which made it challenging for Butter to keep up towards the end.

However, this doesn't mean the street dance instructors here are subpar. On the contrary, Butter found them exceptionally skilled at getting students into the groove. The student-to-teacher ratio for these street dance classes is also quite low—this class had only about 10 students, which generally allows for better teaching quality compared to typical Taipei Dance Studios.
