Seoul--hip hop dance classes???

[harumi]

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a beginner hip-hop dance class
in Seoul. I tried searching on the net, but no luck. I live in Bongcheon on line 2....but I'm more than willing to commute!!

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Thank you!!!

Hi Harumi

By any chance, are you looking for one where they speak some English? If not, there are a lot of places that you can choose from ^^

One place I used to recommend to people isn't running any more. T.T Try searching with the key words " 힙합 댄스 스쿨 서울 "

Hope this helps! And if you need more help, please let me know!

Hi Hyunwoo,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm so sad that the place you used to refer people to has shut down.

I don't really need a place that speaks English, but I just hope they won't be too
frustrated b/c my Korean is very basic. So maybe somewhere just really friendly.

In the meantime, I will start searching and see what I can find. If there is a list of classes online, are there keywords for me to look for to see if it's for beginners???
초심자??

If anyone else is going to a beginner hip-hop class in Seoul, I would really
love to hear about it......Please......

Thank you!!!

I'll ask some more people around!

The keywords you want to use are 초보 / 댄스 / 힙합 / 스쿨 / 학원

Beginner = 초보 or 초급

Sorry to reply to such an old post but I have the very same question as Harumi.

Any feedback on the school mentioned above ? Or any new school you would recommend ?

Thanks in advance !

If anyone is still looking, Tae Youn opened a dance company called Negative Motion Dance Studio. The location is Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu.

He's a friend of mine and I can guarantee you he's a good teacher and can also teach in English I believe he teaches hip hop in English in the Gangnam and Sadang area.

The website for his school is motiondance.net or you can contact him at or 010-8747-7748 / 070-4239-8949

Good luck!
