About "The DanceSport Academy"
The DanceSport Academy is a dance school listed under Education on KakiList, serving students islandwide from its premises at 545 Orchard Road. The listing has been verified by KakiList, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. The academy holds a Google rating of 4.9 out of 5 across 83 reviews, a moderate sample that is encouraging but worth reading in full before making a decision.
Prospective students or parents should begin by enquiring about the appropriate level and syllabus fit — whether that is beginner social dancing, competitive DanceSport disciplines such as ballroom or Latin, or other styles. It is worth asking whether classes are offered in a group format or on a one-to-one basis, as this affects both the learning pace and the fee structure. Confirming the term commitment upfront, and whether the academy offers a trial class before a full enrolment, will help you assess whether the teaching style and class tempo suit your needs. The Orchard Road location is centrally accessible, though parents of younger students should clarify drop-off arrangements.
The most direct next step is to reach out to The DanceSport Academy via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask about current class availability, confirm the level that suits your starting point, and arrange a trial class before committing to a full term.

After taking dance classes for less than three months, my daughter’s posture magically improved! Back to normal again, no longer hunching over while carrying her school bag! The biggest bonus is that she performed very well in oral exams, too! She got AL1 in English of this year’s PSLE! Even she agrees that the dance classes helped her a lot better than any expensive public speaking classes she used to take, which didn't help her to get better scores in oral at all! She is looking forward to going to her dance classes every week!

My daughter has been with The DanceSport Academy for the past 6 years since Primary 1, and it has truly been a special and unforgettable journey for her — and for us as parents too! Watching her blossom over the years has been incredibly heart-warming. The coaches are not only highly professional, but also patient, caring, and so encouraging, creating a nurturing environment where students feel supported and confident to shine. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our daughter — not just in her dance skills, but also in her confidence, discipline, and perseverance. She genuinely looks forward to every single class, and that alone speaks volumes. We are deeply grateful for the passion, dedication, and love the coaches pour into their students. Highly recommended with all our hearts! ❤️✨

My daughters (now aged 10 and 12) have been students at The DanceSport Academy (TDA) since 2020. What stood out for me from the start was TDA’s ability to balance strong technical foundations with engaging, enjoyable lessons. I had tried several dance schools previously and found some to be either too rigid and technical (which can be boring for young children) or fun but lacking in depth. TDA struck the perfect balance. The girls developed solid technique, musicality, and dance knowledge, while still genuinely enjoying every class. The principals, Sharon and Melvin, lead the academy with great professionalism and care. Their vision is clearly reflected in the quality of teaching and the nurturing culture of the academy. I’m also deeply appreciative of the dedicated teachers who have worked closely with my daughters over the years Teacher Ixora, Archana, Gwen, and the many other instructors who have guided` and inspired them. Classes are lively, structured, and thoughtfully designed. The teachers are not only skilled but also warm, fun and motivating, which keeps the girls excited about learning and improving. Beyond dance skills, my daughters have also gained confidence, discipline and a real love for dance. As a mother, I was also drawn to TDA’s adult classes and truly enjoyed them. The pacing was just right and it was a great workout in a safe, comfortable and encouraging environment. If you’re looking for a dance Academy in Singapore that develops both technical excellence and a genuine joy for dance, TDA is an outstanding choice. We are grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend it to other parents.

We have been sending our daughter to this dance studio for 7 wonderful years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the impact it had on her journey as a dancer. She had the privilege of learning under Teacher Ixora, as well as Principals Sharon and Melvin. After starting solo lessons, her skills have honed dramatically. Her technique, expression, and confidence have all reached new heights. What sets this studio apart is how the teachers consistently encourage and motivate students. Our daughter took on challenges beyond the classroom, including competing in both local and overseas events, which have been invaluable learning experiences. Thank you to the entire team for nurturing her passion and helping her grow not just as a dancer, but as a person. Highly recommend to any family looking for a supportive, professional dance environment!

My girls have been learning dance at TDA for the past couple of years, and the experience has been truly enriching. Dance has taught them valuable life lessons such as dedication, unity, discipline, and confidence, qualities that will shape them well in many other aspects of life. Much of this credit goes to their passionate and committed teachers, who consistently give their best each week. The environment at TDA is welcoming and spacious, allowing students to enjoy themselves while learning. The teachers strike a wonderful balance between being demanding, encouraging, and genuinely caring. Seeing how much my girls look forward to this weekly routine is incredibly heartening.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "The DanceSport Academy" charge per session?›
The DanceSport Academy displays a mid-range price indicator, though specific per-session figures are not publicly listed. Dance schools in Singapore typically structure fees as a per-session rate, a monthly package, or a per-term enrolment. Group classes tend to be more affordable than one-to-one coaching, and competitive DanceSport training may carry a higher rate than recreational classes. When enquiring, ask whether there is a separate trial class fee, whether materials such as practice shoes or attire are included, and whether sibling or multi-class discounts apply. Some academies charge a one-time registration fee on top of tuition. See the full Dance Schools cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
Many dance schools in Singapore offer a trial class, sometimes at a reduced rate or included as part of the first session, before you commit to a term or package. A trial is a practical way to assess whether the teaching style, class pace, and level are a good fit — particularly important for children or students new to DanceSport, where correct technique from the outset matters. During the trial, observe how the instructor breaks down steps, how feedback is delivered, and whether the group dynamic feels comfortable. If the class is intended for competitive training, also ask about the competition calendar and associated costs. Contact The DanceSport Academy directly to confirm their trial class policy and cost.
What are the instructors' credentials at "The DanceSport Academy"?›
Instructor credentials are not listed publicly for The DanceSport Academy. For DanceSport specifically, recognised certifications include those issued by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), the British Dance Council (BDC), or the International DanceSport Federation (IDSF) affiliated bodies. Competition experience at national or regional level is also a relevant signal for students pursuing competitive pathways. If syllabus alignment matters — for example, preparation for ISTD medal examinations or national DanceSport competitions — ask the academy directly which examining body their curriculum follows and the competition history of their teaching staff. It is reasonable to request this information before committing to a term.
