Singapore's dance floors range from a converted warehouse studio in Kallang to a ballroom academy that has been teaching at City Hall since 2009. Nineteen dance schools in Singapore turned up in the search behind this page, and the five that made the cut all sit at 4.8 stars or higher. The top name, Free Movement Dance @Kallang, has 711 reviews behind its perfect 5.0, more than four times the smallest studio on the list.
Short answer: Free Movement Dance @Kallang leads with a perfect 5.0 stars across 711 reviews, followed closely by Galaxy Dance Academy (5.0, 434 reviews) for ballroom and Latin since 2009. En Motion Dance School (4.9, 402 reviews) is the strongest pick for salsa and bachata specifically. Studio rental at Free Movement starts from as little as $15 per the studio's own site, though most schools price group classes and private lessons separately.

Free Movement Dance @Kallang
5.0★★★★★711 Google reviews
Free Movement Dance Solutions has run dance studio rentals, a dancewear shop, and sprung dance floors out of Kallang since 2014, renting rooms from as little as $15 an hour on a 24/7 self-service basis. It also sells Marley dance mats, ballet barres, and costume tailoring alongside the studio space, positioning itself as much as a dance-industry supplier as a school. Reviewers describe several rooms of different sizes, from a small studio built for two or three people to a larger space used for events and workshops. It reads less like a traditional dance school and more like the infrastructure other dancers, teachers, and event hosts book by the hour.
What people praise
- Self-service, round-the-clock booking that reviewers call smooth over WhatsApp
- A range of room sizes, so solo practice and larger group sessions both fit
- Clean, well-equipped studios with sound systems and a snack corner reviewers mention repeatedly
- Rentals are priced from $15 an hour by the studio's own listing, among the more affordable options
Worth knowing
- One reviewer flagged the smaller studios as tight for jumps or full-extension movement, so check room size against your style first
- The Kallang location is a short walk from the nearest MRT rather than right outside it

Our take: The top pick if you already know how to dance and just need a clean, affordable room, less so if you are after structured lessons with an instructor.

Galaxy Dance Academy (City Hall)
5.0★★★★★434 Google reviews
Galaxy Dance Academy has taught ballroom and Latin dance from its City Hall studio since 2009, running separate beginner-friendly group class tracks for children aged four to seventeen and adults of any level. The school leans on a free trial class as the entry point, then routes new dancers into small group lessons built around posture, rhythm, and partner work. Reviewers frequently name coaches directly, including Mikhail and Alyssa, and several describe the founders as having chosen Singapore as home since 2006. It is a long-running, credential-light but reputation-heavy operation built around one central studio near three MRT stations.
What people praise
- Coaches get named and praised individually across a wide span of reviews, not just in a handful of recent ones
- Newcomers describe the atmosphere as welcoming and not intimidating even with zero dance background
- The studio itself is repeatedly called clean and well kept, including a mention of a receptionist who personally tidies it
- Nearly a decade and a half of operating history from one fixed location

Our take: The steadiest, most established option here for anyone who wants a real curriculum and a coach who remembers their name, not just a room to rent.

En Motion Dance School
4.9★★★★★402 Google reviews
En Motion Dance School specializes in salsa, bachata, and street Latin dance out of Cineleisure Orchard, branding itself Singapore's leading street Latin dance school. Reviewers consistently name instructor Gary for private lessons and beginner group classes, describing a multi-month progression from Level 1 through Level 3 salsa alongside separate bachata tracks. Several reviews come from couples who took classes together, including private lessons focused specifically on basics. The school's own site collects testimonials rather than running heavy self-promotion, leaning on word of mouth from students who kept re-booking across several months.
What people praise
- Multiple reviewers describe months-long progressions (L1 to L3) rather than one-off trial classes
- Private lessons with named instructor Gary get called out specifically for patience and technical correction
- Works well for couples learning together, per several joint reviews
- A visible, positive-culture community that reviewers say kept them coming back
Worth knowing
- Its most recent reviews run a few months older than some competitors on this list, so recent momentum is a little less visible

Our take: The clearest pick if salsa or bachata specifically is the goal, backed by reviewers who stuck around for months, not just a single trial.

Bolly Dancing Studio in Singapore
4.8★★★★★251 Google reviews
Bolly Dancing Studio runs Bollywood-style dance and fitness classes from Waterloo Street, including Zumba, KPOPX Fitness, and Pilates-with-a-Bollywood-twist alongside its core Bollywood choreography classes. Beyond regular classes, it books corporate team-building sessions, kids' birthday parties, and private one-to-one lessons, with reviewers describing groups of over thirty participants handled comfortably in one room. Instructors Meenal and Varnitha get named repeatedly for energy and clear guidance, including for a daughter's dance-themed 9th birthday party. The studio positions itself as a fitness-through-dance brand as much as a pure dance school.
What people praise
- Handles large groups (30-plus) for corporate events without reviewers reporting crowding
- Named instructors get specific praise for patience with both total beginners and children
- Flexible formats span 1-to-1 lessons, kids' parties, and adult corporate sessions
- A tailored, pace-adjusted approach mentioned by a parent whose daughter takes 1-to-1 lessons
Worth knowing
- One detailed review flagged the studio floor as too hard for routines involving rolling or flipping, worth asking about if your style needs it
- Slightly lower review volume and rating than the top three on this list

Our take: A strong choice for groups, parties, and fitness-leaning Bollywood classes, though check the floor surface first if your routine involves floorwork.

L5 by O School
4.9★★★★★150 Google reviews
L5 by O School is the open-class arm of O School, a Singapore dance social enterprise running choreography-based classes across hip hop, street jazz, K-pop, lyrical jazz, house, dancehall, girls style, heels, litefeet, and popping from a Selegie Road studio with four rooms plus a mini-hall. Classes are built for beginners through advanced dancers rather than one fixed skill level, with sessions typically starting at 7pm and 8.30pm on weeknights. Reviewers describe it as a community hub as much as a class schedule, with some using a S.C.A.P.E-linked overflow space when the main studio books out. O School frames its own mission as using dance to support and connect its community rather than purely selling lessons.
What people praise
- The widest style range on this list, from hip hop to K-pop to heels in one venue
- Reviewers describe it as a genuine community, not just a place to take one class and leave
- Multiple studios and a mini-hall mean options are rarely fully booked out
- Friendly front-of-house staff mentioned specifically by more than one reviewer
Worth knowing
- Its most recent reviews run further back than the rest of this list, so current class energy is a little less documented
- Smaller review volume than the top four, though the rating itself stays strong

Our take: The pick for anyone chasing a specific street style like K-pop or hip hop rather than a formal ballroom curriculum, backed by a loyal if smaller review base.

Claim this spot › How we actually ranked these
Every studio here is scored on the same four things: live Google star rating, how many people rated them, how recent those reviews are, and how complete the listing is (site, phone, hours). Confidence weighs the rating against the review volume, so a perfect score from 700 reviews counts differently than one from 150. No studio can pay to move up this list, the scorecard numbers are pulled straight from public data.
What does a dance class cost in Singapore? (2026)
Pricing varies a lot by format: a single drop-in class, a term-based package, and a private lesson all sit at different price points, and most studios only publish rates after you contact them or view their own rates page. Free Movement is the one exception with a published rate on their own site.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Studio rental (self-service, per hour) | From $15 |
Rate published directly on Free Movement Dance Solutions’ own website, checked July 2026. Other studios on this list price group classes, packages, and private lessons individually rather than publishing a flat rate, so contact them directly for a quote.
Studios across Singapore, not just one district
These five span a good stretch of the island: Kallang for warehouse-style studio rental, City Hall for ballroom in the CBD fringe, Cineleisure Orchard for salsa and bachata in the shopping district, Waterloo Street near Bugis for Bollywood, and Selegie Road near Little India for hip hop and street styles. Wherever you are searching from, a dance studio near me in Singapore is rarely more than a couple of MRT stops away.
What to ask before signing up for a term
- Is the first class a genuine trial, or does it lock you into a term-length package?
- Are classes taught by one consistent instructor, or does that rotate week to week?
- What is the make-up policy if you miss a class during the term?
- For couples or kids’ classes specifically, is the pricing per person or per pair?
- Is the studio floor suited to your style, especially if it involves floorwork, jumps, or heels?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How did you choose these five dance schools?
We compared every dance school Google surfaces for Singapore, then ranked by star rating, review volume, recency, and listing completeness, the same method used across every list on this site.
How often is this updated?
We last verified ratings and review counts in July 2026, and refresh listings periodically as new reviews come in.
Do I need dance experience to start?
No. Every studio on this list runs beginner-friendly trial or entry classes; several reviewers specifically mention starting with zero background.
Can kids take classes at these studios?
Galaxy Dance Academy runs a dedicated kids’ track for ages four to seventeen, and Bolly Dancing Studio has hosted kids’ birthday parties and children’s sessions. Check directly with the others for age-specific offerings.
The bottom line
For a structured, long-running curriculum, Galaxy Dance Academy’s near-decade-and-a-half in City Hall makes it the safe default. If you already dance and just need a room, Free Movement’s hourly rental is hard to beat on price and flexibility.
