WHAT DOES A
CLASS COST?

A drop-in single class is typically £8–£15 in the UK, $10–$20 in the US and Canada. Most cities cluster within that range — see the city pages for live medians and the typical 25th–75th percentile band.

Studio rents, instructor pay, class duration and style all push the median up or down. London, New York and Los Angeles tend to sit at the top of the range; smaller cities and university towns sit at the bottom. The dataset shows medians so a single high-end studio doesn't skew the figure.

Usually yes. A term package (typically 6–12 weeks) often works out 20–40% cheaper per class than drop-ins — typically £80–£150 / $100–$200 for an 8-week term. Memberships and class packs trade flexibility for further per-class savings.

Most private studios offer a free or discounted first class for new students — it's how they convert beginners. Booking is usually required via the studio website; see our free dance classes page for the full set of low-cost routes.

We extract drop-in class prices directly from publicly-listed studio timetables — no vendor uploads, no estimates. Each row is stored with a source URL and a 'last seen' timestamp; sources are re-scanned monthly. See the methodology page for the full detail.

Studios are re-scraped on a rolling monthly schedule. Each summary on this site shows a 'last updated' date so you can judge freshness. If a studio's website changes layout or goes down, its row becomes stale rather than being silently replaced with guesswork.
