1. The Hop

If you’re looking to step into the vibrant world of swing dancing, The Hop is a must-visit spot in Silom. This studio and event venue offers a unique way to experience the joy of swing dance, covering styles from the 1920s to the 1940s.

With a team of eight passionate instructors, The Hop hosts social dance classes every Thursday and Saturday, welcoming beginners with open arms. A 30-minute beginner class is available for just 200 Baht, making it an affordable option to try something new.

The venue itself sets the mood for swing dancing. Its vintage atmosphere features dark wood floors, velvet curtains, red-painted walls, and soft lighting, adding to the nostalgic vibe.

2. RumPUREE World Dance Studio

rumPUREE, Thailand’s first dance studio to offer a wide selection of world dance classes, caters to a variety of interests. From classical styles like ballet and jazz to Bollywood, Bellydance, and pole dance, the studio has something for everyone.

The studio is a great choice for adults looking to explore different dance styles. With flexible options for daily, weekly, or monthly passes, students can enjoy any class available at rumPUREE.

Beyond dance, rumPUREE also offers dance-inspired fitness classes such as Zumba, Piloxing, and Fit Yoga, providing a great option for those seeking to incorporate movement into their fitness routines.

For those committed to mastering a specific dance style, rumPUREE offers full-course subscriptions, costing around 3,000 Baht for six weeks. While this is ideal for serious students, some beginners found that group classes could be overwhelming due to their fast pace. Since most lessons focus on choreography, new dancers may need time to catch up with the steps.

Private and group classes are available for those wanting to progress at their own pace.

Despite its strengths, rumPUREE’s facilities could use improvement. Neither of its locations offers private bathrooms or showers, which could be a drawback for those looking for a more comfortable experience after a sweaty dance session.
