There is good news for fans of K-pop. The Korean Cultural Centre in Abu Dhabi is resuming its popular K-Pop Academy.
The academy’s immersive dance class is designed to introduce the captivating world of K-pop to enthusiasts in the UAE.

The highly anticipated return of the academy’s summer programme offers youngsters an exciting journey into the world of Korean music.
Females aged 14 and above can take part in regular classes in Abu Dhabi throughout August. Additionally, the academy will organise a one-day free class during the weekends in Abu Dhabi and Dubai for males and females.
“We are excited to reintroduce the K-Pop Academy to the UAE community,” said Lee Yong Hee, the director of the Korean Cultural Centre in Abu Dhabi.
These classes will be led by Lee Su Jin, an experienced K-Pop dance instructor and former backup dancer for renowned Korean artists such as Baek Ji Young, SG Wannabe, SNSD, and Wonder Girls.
K-pop has emerged as a global phenomenon, captivating audiences with its catchy music, stunning choreography, and passionate performances. It has become an integral part of Korean culture, transcending borders, and appealing to fans worldwide. With its highly dedicated fan base, K-pop has witnessed remarkable growth and popularity, making it an ideal summer activity for fans in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
“K-Pop has been an incredible cultural phenomenon, and this academy allows individuals to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of K-pop while receiving professional training. We believe this will be an enriching K-culture experience for all participants,” Hee added.
