When choosing a dance studio, make sure the space has a proper slip-resistant sprung floor. This is necessary for an adequate dance surface and to avoid injury. The studio should also include a sound system, or at the very least speakers. Full-sized mirrors are also a standard feature, as is a ballet barre. Some studios will come with a piano or may have one available for hire.

Location
Pick a studio that’s easy for you or your students to reach—proximity to tram stops or train lines is a huge bonus.
Space & Capacity
Use Tagvenue’s filters to find the right room size. Large classes need more room to move, especially for partner-based styles like salsa or tango.
Flooring
Look for sprung or wooden flooring to reduce joint strain and allow smooth movement. Avoid slippery or uneven surfaces.
Sound System
Studios should offer built-in speakers or a portable sound setup that fills the room clearly.
Mirrors
Most professional spaces include full-wall mirrors for technique correction. Helpful but not always essential.
