SCAPE, Esplanade MRT, SMU’s basement, and even Changi Airport. If you’ve been dancing in Singapore long enough—in any genre!—you’ll know that these spots are the go-to, free practice venues for broke dancers in Singapore.
Every night, these spaces come alive with throngs of dancers shaking, bopping, and swaying to the beat. By way of a sound system, music trickles out of portable speakers on the floor. Instead of mirrors, these dancers make do with faintly reflective glass panels (or no “mirror” at all!). And if you’re wondering how strong the air-con is, ha. What air-con?
That’s why sometimes, these makeshift practice spots just don’t cut it. Sometimes, we need a proper dance studio with full-length mirrors, a booming sound system, and near-glacial air-con to combat the body heat dance generates.
The only downside? These swanky studio spaces don’t come cheap…usually. Dancers, you might want to bookmark this page. Here are the best dance studios in Singapore with the most affordable rental rates—from as low as $1.25 per pax per hour!

| Dancing Bots 1924 studio rental rate | |

Need a no fuss, private studio space during peak hours for dance or yoga practice? Dancing Bots 1924 is a good option because they have no peak hour surcharges (at least for now, as of 21 Apr 2023). The studio is open 24/7, and their 4m x 7.5m dance floor can accommodate up to 20 pax per booking.
Good things are hard to find…literally. It can be a little tricky to locate the Dancing Bots 1924 studio entrance. On street level, it’s opposite OG and may be hidden by tables, umbrellas, and chairs of the eatery below. If you need visuals, I suggest you hop over to Google Maps, where the studio owner has kindly uploaded clear, labelled photos to help you find them.

The DansConnection is a 74 sq m dance studio that looks pretty swanky—it was newly furnished in Sep 2022. It’s also got a Bluetooth sound system, 2 toilets, 1 changing room, and wi-fi available upon request.
What’s most remarkable about The DansConnection is its high ceiling—4.5m! So if your dance choreography involves aerial stunts, this might be the studio spot you’ve been looking for.
The studio can fit about 20 pax in total. If you max out the studio capacity, you can get a rate of as low as $1.50 per hour per pax during off-peak timings. On weekends, rates start from $2, which is still very affordable.

J Dance Atelier is a belly dance school with 2 dance studios: one 8.5m x 5m (42.5 sq m) and the other 3.5m x 5m (17.5 sq m). Each can take up to 16 and 5 pax respectively. If you max out the pax in the studios, the rental rates at J Dance Atelier are just shy of those at Bolly Dancing Studio.
You’ll only see their peak hourly rental rates on their website, but there are actually lower rates for both Studio 1 and Studio 2 during off-peak hours (usually weekdays before 7pm). To check availability and get the off-peak rates, book them on GetSpaces.
The studio is located along Beach Road, and is a 5 minute walk from Nicoll Highway MRT. Not quite as convenient a location as Bolly Dancing Studio, but beats trekking to the ulu Western or Eastern most reaches of the island.

Primarily a hip hop and street jazz dance studio, Grooves Up Studio offers 24/7 rental of their 70 sq m space for dance, yoga, fitness, photography and events.
We like that it’s easy to get to, being just diagonally opposite from City Square Mall and a 2 minute walk from Farrer Park MRT. While the studio comes with full length mirrors, speakers, and air-conditioning, but don’t expect any yoga or fitness equipment.
Rates per hour are high if you go alone. But if you max out the 13 pax limit, Grooves Up Studio is an affordable option for studio rental, at still under $4 per pax even on weekends.

Sol Latte is open for booking from 9am to 11pm, so that means there is only a single hour on Saturday and Sunday that counts as off-peak timing with no surcharge. Your best bet for the lowest rates is to go on a weekday during working hours, if your work timings are flexible.

10. Which is the most affordable studio rental option for groups of 5 pax and under?
Dancing in a small group? Unfortunately, the fewer the people in the studio, the more each person pays. Rental rates are usually fixed by the hour, so you only get economies of scale when you’ve got a large group.
That said, finding a spot for a small bunch of you to dance affordably is not an impossible task. We’ve gone through all the dance studios on this list to determine the most affordable studio rental rates for 5 pax and under:
| Rates per pax | |||
| Number of pax | Weekday during working hours: Bolly Dancing Studio or J Dance Atelier | Weekday evenings: Bolly Dancing Studio | Weekends: Dancing Bots |
