Whether you're a fan of K-pop or simply love to dance, why not take part in one or more of the classes offered by the country's best dance academy (k-pop, modern, hip-hop). Professional dancers put their skills and knowledge at your disposal to help you perfect your moves. Different levels, different musical styles, different audiences (including children), you'll find THE dance class for you. Private lessons available. All dancers and teachers speak English.

Very unpopular in France, baseball is THE national sport in South Korea. They're really hooked on it! Attending a game of one of Seoul's three teams (Doosan Bears, LG Twins and Nexen Heroes) is a truly unforgettable experience. On the concert site, beers, fried chicken, singing fans... all in a warm, joyful and above all respectful atmosphere. You can buy your tickets directly at the stadium or on the website. Moreover the rates are really affordable knowing that a game lasts 3 hours.

The Yoo family introduces foreign visitors to the culinary wonders of Korea with its cooking classes. After one day, kimchi or jeon will no longer hold any secrets for you! But that's not all, various other programs are offered to visitors eager to know everything about Korean culture: wearing the hanbok, tea ceremony, calligraphy, manners courses... All you have to do is make your choice! Unforgettable and traditional activities in a very typical setting. A real immersion in the land of the Morning Calm.

Since 1974, this institute has been teaching Korean manners and etiquette. It is possible to register in advance for 9 classes, each class lasting 1 to 2 hours. Among the courses on offer are the art and ceremony of tea (dado / 다도), the discovery of the hanbok (the traditional Korean dress), the preparation of kimchi and other dishes, traditional dances, etc. Attending one of these courses can be very rewarding if you understand Korean, because yes, they are not yet taught in English. It's a shame.

Among the countless number of karaoke bars in the capital (it's quite subjugating), this one is very popular and has large rooms to come in large numbers as well as a wide choice of songs. Here's a little lexicon so you can use the machine to select songs (valid in any karaoke): 한/영 (to change the alphabet), 국가별검색 (to choose the country, pop for France and Anglo-Saxon countries), 예약 (put a song on the waiting list), 취소 (delete), 시작 (start). To your mics!

The Yhlayuen Jeongak Academy offers workshops in calligraphy and traditional stamp-making. These are ideal activities if you want to discover an aspect of Korean culture while taking home a unique souvenir. Surrounded by professionals of unrivalled kindness, you'll be able to use their guidance to create your own motifs, messages, designs... let your imagination run wild. An activity that's a little different from the ordinary. Several packages of different lengths are available.

It's everywhere, on every Korean table. You will have recognized the legendary kimchi. At the Seoul Kimchi Academy, they teach you (in English) how to prepare this typical dish. But that's not all, you can also take part in making tteokbokki (rice cakes with spicy sauce) or wear the hanbok (traditional Korean costume). A most complete experience greatly appreciated by foreigners. Of course you will eat the dishes prepared with care by your little mimines and can also leave with them!
