Korean Experience Guide
K-pop Dance Class (케이팝 댄스 클래스)
Learn the BTS, BLACKPINK, or NewJeans choreography from the choreographers who taught them.
K-pop dance studios in Seoul offer drop-in classes for foreigners taught by professional choreographers — many of whom worked with actual idols. 1-coin or 1Million Dance Studio (Apgujeong) are the most famous. Classes are 60-90 min, song-specific (you learn one song's choreo per class), in English when foreigners attend, with mirrors + filming allowed.
