Where to Take K-pop Dance Classes in the USA (My List!)

If you know me, you know I'm always dancing — and K-pop is my favorite. (Stray Kids forever! 💗) A lot of people ask where they can actually take K-pop dance classes, so I put together a list of studios and programs around the country. Schedules change a lot, so check each studio's website before you go!

🗽 New York City

  • Korean Cultural Center New York (Manhattan) – Runs a free K-POP Dance Academy with a Cover Dance class (beginner/intermediate) and an Open Choreography class. Classes are small and you have to apply, so watch for the next round.
  • I LOVE DANCE (ILD) (Flushing & Manhattan) – A super popular spot for K-pop and hip-hop dance.
  • We_One Dance – Group classes, private lessons, and online K-pop classes too.

🌴 Los Angeles

  • Rūts Dance Studio (Koreatown) – Affordable K-pop classes right in K-town.

🌉 San Francisco

  • K-Pop-Up – A volunteer-run group with classes every other week for all ages and levels.

☔ Seattle Area

  • American Dance Institute (Seattle & Shoreline) – K-pop classes for teens and adults with songs from Stray Kids, ITZY and BLACKPINK.
  • PopRox Dance Studio (Capitol Hill & U-District)
  • Tina's Dance Studios (Bellevue)
  • The Studio (Issaquah)

🤠 Texas

  • Kpop Dance Dallas (Farmers Branch) – A whole studio for K-pop, plus hip-hop and street dance.

🍑 Atlanta

  • Seoul Cristina KPOP Dance Classes – Drop-ins, class series and small groups for teens and adults.

🌆 Chicago

  • WKPOP – A K-pop program all about empowering women and girls.
  • Yin He Dance Company – K-pop plus ballet and Chinese classical dance.

🏠 Richmond, Virginia (my area!)

  • Richmond Urban Dance – "K-Pop for Everyone" – All-ages K-pop classes they've held at The Valentine museum. I'll be watching for the next one!

Can't Make It to a Class? Use KPop Mirror! 💃

Not everybody lives near a K-pop studio — and classes can be expensive. That's why I made KPop Mirror, a K-pop dance practice app. You can learn the real idol choreography, slow it down, repeat the hard parts, zoom in on the footwork, and record yourself to share with friends. It works on iPhone, Samsung, or a computer.

See you on the dance floor! 💗 — Eleaya Neveah
