Dance Class Prices in KL and Klang Valley 2026: Six Studios, from RM20 a Trial

We read the price pages of six dance studios in KL and Selangor on 8 November 2026. Adult group classes run from about RM22 a class on a big DancePot pack to RM105 for a single Viva Vertical pole or aerial drop-in, and kids' weekly classes cost RM120 to RM300 a month. Salsa, ballet, hip-hop, K-pop and swing, compared.

Dance classes in the Klang Valley are easy to find and surprisingly hard to price. Some studios sell credits that expire, some charge by the month or the term, and pole and aerial studios price their classes closer to a personal-training session than a group class. We wanted the real numbers for an adult beginner and for a parent signing up a child.

What's on this list: six studios and groups in KL and Selangor that publish their own prices, read on 8 November 2026 from each studio's website, booking store or fee chart. They cover Latin, ballet, hip-hop and K-pop, contemporary, pole and aerial, and swing. We left out studios that quote only by WhatsApp, show prices only on third-party listing sites, or whose newest price page we could not date to this year.

Nobody paid to be on this list. Prices change, and several studios mark promotions without an end date, so confirm before you pay. The cards come first, then a comparison table and what a first month really costs.

Havana Estudio, TTDI (salsa, bachata and Latin)

A dedicated Latin dance studio at 56A Jalan Datuk Sulaiman in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, teaching salsa, bachata, rueda and cha-cha to adults in the evenings and at weekends, with monthly socials. The simplest way to start is its Level 1 offer: RM160 a person for four one-hour classes, one a week, with no other charges. After that, a Bachata Level 1 drop-in is RM50 a class, and Ladies Styling or Men's Footwork is RM265 for eight classes (about RM33 each) or RM45 as a drop-in. A VIP Unlimited plan exists but has no published price. The next Salsa Level 1 intake starts on Sunday 15 November 2026 at 2pm. You don't need a partner, since classes rotate partners.

Level 1 special: RM160 a person for four one-hour classes (the full Level 1, one class a week), no other charges. No end date shown.

DancePot, Setapak and Sunway Velocity 2 (all styles, kids and adults)

The widest timetable on this list: RAD ballet, hip-hop, K-pop, contemporary, jazz, Latin, belly dance and Chinese dance, plus Zumba and aerial classes, at Jalan Danau Niaga 1 off Jalan Genting Kelang in Setapak and at Sunway Velocity 2 in Cheras. Adults and teens buy credits on DancePot's own booking store. A one-class trial is RM20. At Setapak a single class is RM40, 8 credits are RM260 (three months), 12 are RM360 and 40 are RM900 (five months), which works out to RM22.50 a class. Cheras costs more: RM50 single, RM340 for 8. Kids pay monthly for a weekly class: RM120 for hip-hop or K-pop, RM110 to RM120 for baby ballet (ages 3 to 4), and RM170 to RM300 for RAD grades from Pre-Primary up. Kids can book a free trial through the studio's form.

Viva Vertical, PJ Midtown and Sunway GEO (pole and aerial)

Pole dance, aerial silks, hoop and bungee fitness at PJ Midtown in Section 13, Petaling Jaya, with a pole-only studio at Sunway GEO Avenue and partner studios in Cyberjaya and Kepong. Its fee chart (effective since November 2025, all prices including 8% SST) is the priciest per class here because classes are small and apparatus-based. New beginners get an intro offer of three classes for RM162 within a month. After that, the four-week beginner or open course is RM280.80 for four classes plus one practice session, while drop-in credits are RM105 for one class, RM388.80 for four and RM1,036.80 for twelve (four months). Practice-only access starts at RM35, and a private session is RM270 for one person. A Viva Juniors programme runs for children.

Intro offer: three classes for RM162 within one month for new beginners (selected apparatus), or one class for RM75 for experienced students new to Viva Vertical. No end date shown.

Ballet Theatre Malaysia, Empire City Damansara (adult ballet)

A ballet studio at Hextar World, Empire City, on Jalan Damansara (PJU 8), and the clearest option on this list for adults who want proper ballet rather than a fitness class. Adult Ballet is RM72 a class: beginners on Tuesdays 8pm to 9.30pm, capped at 15, and intermediate or advanced on Wednesday mornings, Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings. Studio credits give a bonus on bigger top-ups: RM800 buys RM840 of credit (six months), RM1,200 buys RM1,320 (nine months) and RM2,500 buys RM2,875 (twelve months), while RM500 has no bonus. Credit buyers also get 10% off class purchases, according to the studio. For children it runs one-off workshops at RM58.50 each: Dance Like Clara for ages 7 to 10 on 15 November and ages 11 to 13 on 22 November, and a Christmas Dance Party for ages 4 to 10 on 29 November.

Neo

Neo Dynasty Academy, Setia Alam, Kota Kemuning, Puchong and Sri Damansara (kids K-pop and hip-hop)

A music school that also runs K-pop and hip-hop classes for ages 4 to 18 at its four Selangor branches, which makes it handy for families already there for piano or vocals. The fee is plain: RM130 a month for four group sessions (up to 12 children a class), about RM32.50 a session, plus a one-off RM30 registration and an advance fee of RM130. The dance page carries a full weekly timetable by branch and was last updated in August 2026. It is the cheapest monthly kids' option here alongside DancePot's RM120 hip-hop class, but it doesn't teach adults.

KL Swing, Havana Estudio TTDI (Lindy Hop and swing)

KL's pioneering Lindy Hop group (its site dates back to 2008), and the cheapest way on this list to try partner dancing. Every Friday at 9pm it runs a 30-minute taster class at Havana Estudio in TTDI for RM25, and that fee also covers the 90-minute social dance that follows until 11pm. No experience or partner is needed, as partners rotate. Regular themed classes in Lindy Hop, solo jazz and Charleston run on Wednesdays and Fridays, sometimes Sundays, at different studios. These are priced separately, so check the classes page or the group's Instagram for the current series. The group also publishes a code of conduct and a way to report incidents, which is reassuring if you are going alone.

Friday Lindy Hop taster: RM25, 9pm to 9.30pm at Havana Estudio, TTDI, including the 90-minute social dance afterwards. Weekly, no end date.

What the first month costs an adult beginner

Taking four classes in your first month, the published prices work out like this:

DancePot Setapak: RM140 for a 4-credit pack (valid two months), or RM20 if you only try one class first
Havana Estudio: RM160 for the four-week Level 1 course
Ballet Theatre Malaysia: RM288 for four adult ballet classes at RM72
Viva Vertical: RM162 for the three-class intro, then RM280.80 for the four-week beginner course

The gap between RM140 and RM280 is mostly about class size and equipment. A hip-hop or Latin class can take a full room, while a pole or aerial class needs one apparatus per student and closer supervision. That is also why Viva's per-class price only drops to RM86.40 even on its biggest pack, while DancePot's falls to RM22.50.

Watch the expiry dates. Credits are cheap per class only if you use them. DancePot's 40-class pack must be used within five months, about two classes a week. If you realistically dance once a week, its 12-credit pack (RM360, four months, RM30 a class) is the better buy. Viva's 12-class pack also runs out in four months.

What a year of children's ballet costs

For parents, the monthly fee is only part of the bill. At DancePot, RAD Grade 1 ballet is RM200 a month, or RM2,400 if you pay for twelve months. The Royal Academy of Dance's 2026 Malaysia fee sheet then adds the exam: RM205 to RM220 for Grade 1, depending on which of its two fee columns your school's session falls under, and RM285 to RM305 by Grade 8. Late entries cost 10% more in the first week and 20% in the second. Uniform, shoes and any concert costume are on top, and none of the studios here publishes those.

A weekly hip-hop or K-pop class is cheaper and has no exam: RM120 a month at DancePot or RM130 at Neo Dynasty, so roughly RM1,440 to RM1,560 a year before registration.

How to choose

You want a social life as much as exercise: Latin at Havana Estudio, or KL Swing's Friday taster. Both end in a social dance, and neither needs a partner.
You want to try several styles cheaply: DancePot's credits work across ballet, hip-hop, K-pop, Zumba and more at one price.
You want serious ballet as an adult: Ballet Theatre Malaysia, with levels from beginner to advanced.
You want strength and flexibility: pole or aerial at Viva Vertical. Budget for it as you would a personal trainer.
Your child is 4 to 18 and wants K-pop: Neo Dynasty or DancePot. For graded ballet with exams, DancePot.

Before you pay

Ask what the credit validity is, and whether unused credits can be extended. None of the studios here promise that.
Check which branch the price is for. DancePot's Cheras credits cost more than Setapak's, though Cheras credits work at both.
Confirm whether the price includes SST. Viva Vertical's chart says it does; most others don't say.
For kids, ask about the year-end break. Monthly fees usually continue through school holidays unless the studio says otherwise.
Book the trial first. Every studio here except Neo Dynasty and Ballet Theatre Malaysia publishes a trial or intro price.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a dance class in KL?

From the six studios we checked on 8 November 2026, an adult group class costs about RM22.50 to RM50 (DancePot, Havana Estudio), RM72 for adult ballet at Ballet Theatre Malaysia, and RM86.40 to RM105 for pole or aerial at Viva Vertical. Trials start at RM20 at DancePot and RM25 for KL Swing's Friday taster.

Do I need a partner for salsa or swing classes in KL?

No. Havana Estudio and KL Swing both rotate partners during class, so you can come alone. KL Swing's RM25 Friday taster at Havana Estudio in TTDI includes the 90-minute social dance afterwards.

How much does children's ballet cost in KL?

At DancePot, monthly fees for a weekly RAD ballet class run from RM110 to RM120 for baby ballet (ages 3 to 4) up to RM170 to RM300 for the graded classes. RAD exams are extra: the 2026 Malaysia fee sheet lists Grade 1 at RM205 to RM220.

Why are pole and aerial classes more expensive than other dance classes?

Classes are small and each student needs their own pole, silk or hoop plus closer supervision. Viva Vertical charges RM105 for a single class and RM86.40 a class on its 12-class pack, including 8% SST, while new beginners can start with three classes for RM162.
