Dance at Seoul Tanz Station


I have been watching my girls dance ballet for over 3 years now, and I developed a desire to do it also. I stumbled upon a website while looking for English speaking art classes for my daughter that was about classes for adults. One of them was for dance. The location is in the Sinchon area, near Ewha Women's University, and the studio is Seoul Tanz Station. They offer a wide variety of classes from ballet to club dance, and yoga and pilates as well. Of course they are all in Korean, but I just watch closely and it's not hard to follow along. At times the language barrier can cause a problem on my part, simply because it would help if I could ask a question or understand some of the more complicated steps before we start, but overall it's not an issue. They do have English speaking staff at the desk, which is very helpful. Their set-up is quite convenient as well. You can either pay per class, or buy a pre-paid punch card for a set number of classes. The more pre-paid credits you buy, the cheaper. however, there is a time limit on redemption. The schedule is published and you can choose any class, show up, and dance! I was surprised at the number of older (non-college) students in my basic ballet class, but it was encouraging to know I did not enter this youthful vicariousness alone! I like what I read the other day, "Live life vivaciously, not vicariously!". Hopefully, that would be me!
