Capital Dance broadcasts nationally, transmitted on Digital One in the DAB+ format, and online.

To enable the addition of the station to Digital One, several other Global stations on the platform, including Capital UK, Heart UK, Capital XTRA Reloaded, Gold and Heart 70s, saw a reduction in their broadcast bandwidth.

[1] The station's launch at 4 pm on 1 October 2020[2] followed both the establishment in 2019 of Global's Heart Dance as an older-skewing classic and contemporary dance and rhythmic music station, and the decision to reorientate Capital Xtra back towards predominantly playing Black and urban music genres.

[4] Later, in July 2021, shows hosted by Karen Nyame (known on-air as KG) and Jess Bays were added to the schedule.

[5] As part of schedule changes across the whole of the Capital network in October 2022,[6] Matty Chiabi, Meg McHugh, and Zofia all joined the station as presenters.
