Dance classes in Chiang Mai

21:42 Amy 20 Comments


The dance scene in Chiang Mai is big, and growing. Classes cater to all levels, all the way from beginner to pro. Finding concrete information about class schedules is notoriously difficult, so I did it for you.

Like most things in Chiang Mai, venues and schedules change often. The best way to double-check if there are dance classes happening when you're in town is by looking on each group's Facebook page or website, and email or call the teacher/page admin. If you can't get hold of anyone, just turn up. The worst that can happen is no class, and you can go and have a lovely coffee or bowl of khao soy instead!

  5. As of May 2018 there is a new Dance Studio located in Nonghoi, Chiang Mai which has opened and focuses on dance classes for children.
    They have classes in Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary and Traditional Thai Dance. The classes begin for students age 5 through to age 15.
    The head instructor is Ice Johnson, who was trained since age 7 in Australia in all four disciplines. Ice performed in many large productions during her time in Australia.
    The class is taught in both English and Thai and is very beneficial for children wishing to improve their language skills while learning to dance.
    The studio is very large and new and is also available for rent on an hourly basis.
