Weekly Dance Classes
Over 50 weekly dance classes in Ghent — solo styles, partner dances, classical technique, and cultural traditions from three continents.
We run two semesters a year: September to January and February to June. Styles include Classical Ballet, Flamenco, Bollywood, Bachata, and African Congolese Dance, among many others.
Workshops, Miniseries & Festivals
Take your dancing to the next level with our intensive dance workshops, multi-week miniseries, and vibrant festivals. Learn directly from our highly trained in-house instructors or world-renowned international guest teachers. It’s the perfect opportunity to master advanced techniques, dive deep into choreography, or explore entirely new dance styles.
Take a Trial Class
Not sure which dance style suits you best? You don't even need a reservation to find out! Join us at our Ghent studio for our free Open Door Days every September, February, and June. You can also drop into any class during the first week of a new semester to meet the teachers, feel the rhythm, and discover your new passion.
25 DANCESTYLES
From partner and social dance to classical technique, culture and wellness — every style has its own teacher, its own level track, and its own place in the weekly schedule.

SOCIAL DANCE
The social dance activities held by the Shoonya Dance Centre not only give dancers a place to practise their steps but also help to build a sense of community and unite individuals through the joy of dance. To give diversity and excitement to the social dancing events, the Centre occasionally welcomes guest DJs or live bands.
