For example, the 808 Studio—Manila’s first-ever boutique dance studio—will convince you to put on your dancing shoes! Here’s everything you need to know about it:

What Classes Do They Offer?
808 Studio offers the following classes: 808 Signature, 808 Signature 60, 808 Special, and 808 Kids.Â
808 Signature is a 45-minute dance class that incorporates cardio and strength into the routine, while blasting the exclusive tunes and mixes of their resident DJs. Meanwhile, the 808 Signature 60 simply extends the same class into an hour to push you to your limit. As for 808 Special classes, these span for 75 minutes wherein the instructors break down every move of a popular choreography.Â
The studio’s 808 Signature and 808 Special are particularly very popular due to their themed K-pop classes. In these lessons, instructors will teach participants the choreography to various K-Pop hits from BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN, BTS, and more groups. They’re quick to schedule new dance classes every week, so make sure to check their social media pages frequently.Â
Currently, they are holding a five-week dance camp for those who want to learn all the iconic dance moves of TWICE and NewJeans. To see how much you’ve improved over the course of the classes, they will produce a professionally shot performance video of all the participants. The 808 will really make you feel like a K-pop trainee under one of the Big Four agencies!
How Much Do Classes Cost?
