CenterPoint at Central World is the foremost venue in downtown Bangkok where teens come to perfect their dancing skills.
Many years ago CenterPoint as a prime teen hangout used to be located in an open-air venue in the middle of Siam Square, an outdoor shopping arcade area in downtown Bangkok adjacent to the Siam BTS Skytrain Station. However, in recent years, CenterPoint has since moved to the 7th level of the Central World shopping and lifestyle complex, one of Southeast Asia’s largest.

I stayed at CenterPoint for an extended time during my recent visit, admiring their talents and taking some photos, of which none of them seemed to mind. In fact, it seemed that many of the teens were quite glad to see the presence of an admiring audience. I also spotted quite a few tourists who came to view the live dancing practice sessions and performances with amusement.

Not only does CenterPoint provide ample indoor space for downtown Bangkok’s teens to sharpen their dancing skills, the venue also offers entertaining games, such as these ‘music-stepping’ game machines, where youngsters dance vigorously to the tunes being played by the machines.

Oftentimes these automated machine-based dancing games can even be more vigorous than the typical group-based floor dancing sessions!
