Heart Dance Radio

Heart Dance Radio is a UK national digital radio station broadcasting from Global's studios in Leicester Square, London. Launched in June 2019, it is available across the country via DAB+ and online streams. The station targets 25- to 45-year-olds with a mix of club classics, late 80s to modern dance anthems, and studio mixes.

Compared to youth-focused stations like Capital DANCE or BBC Radio 1 Dance, Heart Dance leans much heavier into 90s and 2000s nostalgia. However, the 32–40 kbps DAB+ audio stream sounds noticeably flat, and the daily track rotation gets repetitive if you listen for longer than a couple of hours.

The schedule balances non-stop music blocks with presenter-led shows. Toby Anstis hosts Heart Dance Breakfast, while Pandora Christie takes over for the late afternoon drive and evening slots. Mornings feature a dedicated two-hour continuous dance music block to keep listeners moving through their workday.

The playlist rotates heavy-hitting commercial dance, eurodance, and vocal house. Acts like Faithless, Calvin Harris, and Daft Punk get regular airplay. Anthems such as Eric Prydz's Call On Me, Armin van Buuren's This Is What It Feels Like, and Snap!'s Rhythm Is A Dancer show the station's clear focus on vocal-driven energy.

According to Q2 2026 RAJAR figures, Heart Dance attracts 1.1 million weekly listeners who tune in for over 5.2 million total hours. People choose this station over main commercial rivals mainly for its quick pacing, low talk volume, and reliable high-energy tempo during work and workouts. As part of the broader Heart brand, it also benefits from the network's regular awards at the ARIAs and Global Awards.
