The studio believes in holistic dance education—students study multiple dance styles to reach their full potential.
Jitterbugs Swingapore is a CSTD School offering CSTD examinations in Classical Ballet, Modern Jazz, Tapping and Contemporary. The CSTD (Commonwealth Society Of Teachers Of Dancing) is an authoritative examining body with high standards internationally recognized. The studio also provides Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations, which is an international teacher education and awarding organisation for dance recognised internationally for the highest standards of teaching and learning.
The studio operates four purpose-built studios. Studios 1, 2 and 3 are fitted with Omara sprung floors, while Studio 4 has Harlequin sprung floors. All studios include Harlequin Reversible Pro Tarkett vinyl flooring suitable for all genres of dance, wall-mounted ballet barres, floor-to-ceiling mirrored walls, acoustic panels to reduce noise transference, surround sound systems, and wall-mounted speakers. Central air conditioning is available throughout. Studio 1 and 3 are 120 sqm and 112 sqm respectively, comparable to a performance stage and suitable for performance and competition rehearsals.

Annual concerts provide performance opportunities, and the year finishes with CSTD or RAD examinations. Upon completion of the program, students may pursue teaching certification, move towards a professional career in dance, or continue dancing for personal enjoyment. Dancers who complete the syllabus in a particular genre can work towards CSTD Teaching Certificates and Diplomas, which are globally recognised.
