Dance FM UAE is a dance radio station, from Dubai, belonging to Shock Middle East, which broadcasts on 97.8FM in UAE, and online. It was officially launched in September 2016 as the first full dance music radio station in the UAE.[1][2]

In July 2017, Dance FM UAE was one of the official media partners for Belgian festival Tomorrowland.[3][4]

Dance FM later relaunched its website and launched three new internet streams: Dance Urban Radio (playing non-stop local hip-hop and rap music), Dance Top 40 (playing non-stop chart music) and Dance Desi (playing non-stop Bollywood music).

In about September 2017, the schedule was revised. Many DJ sets were moved from the overnight hours (12-4am) to Friday lunchtime daypart (12-3pm) and weekday late night hours (8-10pm).

The majority of programming is normal presenter-led music shows and live sets from 30 high-profile DJs. Live DJ sets are broadcast Sunday - Thursday 8pm - midnight, Friday midday - 1am and Saturday 6pm - midnight.
