## Prices in Singapore
Adult rates are from studio price lists published in September 2024, and kids' rates from a February 2026 survey of dance schools. Prices vary by outlet, level and package, and kids' classes are usually paid per term.

| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adult open class (K-pop, hip hop), single | S$15–S$25 per class | First-timer trials from about $13 |
| Adult 10-class pack | S$120–S$155 per pack |  |
| Adult 5-class student/NSF pack | S$45–S$65 per pack |  |
| Kids' dance class (ballet, jazz, hip hop) | S$25–S$40 per class | Usually billed per term |
| Private dance tutor | S$60–S$90 per hour |  |

## How to choose
- For children's ballet, ask whether the school follows a graded syllabus such as the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) or CSTD. Graded exams give a clear progression, while non-syllabus schools may focus more on performance.
- For adults, try a single class or first-timer trial before buying a pack, and check the pack's validity period.
- Look at class size and level labels. 'Open' classes mix abilities, and beginner-only classes suit you better if you're starting out.
- Check the floor. A sprung or vinyl dance floor reduces impact on joints compared with tiles or concrete.
- Ask about extra costs for children: exam fees, costumes and recital tickets can add up beyond term fees.

## Red flags
- Packs with very short validity and no freeze option.
- Kids pushed into pointe work before the teacher has assessed their strength and age.
- Studios where annual concerts or exams carry large, undisclosed extra fees.

## FAQs
### How much do dance classes cost in Singapore?
Adult K-pop and hip hop open classes usually cost $15–$25 each, and 10-class packs cost about $120–$155, as of 2024 studio rates. Children's classes such as ballet and jazz typically cost $25–$40 a class and are usually paid per term. Exam, costume and concert fees are often extra.

### What is RAD ballet?
RAD is the Royal Academy of Dance, a UK-based body whose graded ballet syllabus and exams are taught by many Singapore schools, from Pre-Primary up to advanced vocational levels. CSTD and ISTD are other examining bodies, also covering jazz and tap. Graded exams give children a structured progression and recognised certificates.

### Can adult beginners join dance classes?
Yes. Many studios run beginner-level adult classes in K-pop, hip hop, jazz and ballet. Start with a level labelled beginner or 'basics' rather than an open class, and use first-timer trial prices to try a few studios before committing to a pack.
