Literally translated from Thai name of Baan Ten Rum, the Dance House was originally ‘Samakkee Lee-rat Dancing School’ which taught dancing especially ballroom dance. Back in the 60s, this two-story wooden house was also one of Bangkok’s most popular venues for young people to socialize and became the symbol of Western influence. 

​

Therefore, this mansion serves as yet another reminder of the time when western culture predominated in Thailand. The "Par-Tid-Pai-Tor" exhibition, which depicted the state of the home prior to the repairs, was available for viewing until September 15, 2013.

​

We wants to turn the abandoned dancing school into a dance museum to pass on about ballroom dance back then and a place where locals can have a place where they can exchange their opinions and meeting. Bringing back dancing spirit of this place, it occasionally holds some events and workshops on ballroom dance too.
