Dance and live in Los Angeles! 

This is the ONLY program that gives dancers two weeks (14 days) of dance classes, dancer dorm, coordinated activities to see the real Los Angeles, a built-in friend group (dancers need a posse!), and a strong support network of experts in dance who know this fabulous city very well.

The purpose of this dance program is to help give you a glimpse into you see if L.A. is for you, if a dance career is for you, but in a kind, safe, loving and familial way.

If you LOVE dancing in L.A., we have a one-month program you can do after. You will have priority acceptance.

We take care of nearly everything so you come ready to dance and explore without having to worry about housing, how to get around, what fun things to do, and you’ll have automatic friends with the other dancers in the program. L.A. can be tough to navigate and we want to help make it easy…and fun!

Dance Dorm

Housing in Los Angeles is insanely expensive. For example, the Best Western MOTEL in Hollywood is $200+ a night.  We wanted to create a clean, safe home for dancers in L.A. So, we have created a small, brand new dance dorm just for our program dancers!

Activities
While the main focus of our two-week dance in L.A. program is dance, dancers will visit the Hollywood, Hollywood Sign, Santa Monica or Venice Beach along with a professional photo by our dance photographer.

Selective Group
At this time, we only accept four dancers per session. Space is purposely limited to maintain a comprehensive dance training schedule.

Cost
The Two-Week Dance in L.A. cost is $2398.

This is less than the cost of a motel in Hollywood for two weeks. We’ve created the most economical program to help dancers dance in L.A.!

We choose our dancers based on their passion for dance.

1. You should have a minimum of two years of hip hop/commercial dance experience and be able to do the choreography of your favorite choreographer -full out. This is NOT a program designed for true beginners, or those who have not taken a hip hop class. Dancers come to L.A. for hip hop, to train in all styles of hip hop/commercial dance. 
2. You will be asked to provide a video submission.
3. We Zoom interview every dancer. It is a super fun and informal chat about dance, L.A., our program and YOU!
4. English level: We do not care about perfect English. No one in L.A. cares! But, you must have a basic command of English, and be able to communicate with the dancers, choreographers, etc. We don’t want you to miss out on anything and we want you to have a memorable experience with us.  The program is actually a highly effective, organic way to improve English language skills! The Zoom interview is conducted solely in English.

What classes will I take?

You will be given the following:

• 10 Millennium classes
• 5 Movement Lifestyle classes
• 2 TMilly classes
• 2 Playground LA classes
• And a $150 L.A. Cultural Exchange credit card to spend on master classes and classes outside of the class pass studios.

Our Los Angeles dance studios include: Millennium Dance Complex, Movement Lifestyle (mL), TMilly, The Playground, Mihran Studios, Eighty Eight Studios, RUTS, The Stu LA, West Coast, etc.

How do you figure out which studios to go to and which classes to take?

It’s not easy! There are many studios and classes to choose from. The hard part is making a decision. Don’t worry, we got you. To start, you are given the apps and dance class passes so you can see the class schedules. You, along with the dance captain and the other dancers, decide which classes to take. You can all go together or you can split up in groups to take class at different studios. This is not a boring summer camp. We are here to help guide you but, ultimately, you make the decision of which classes to take.

Remember, this is YOUR time to dance, explore and have fun in L.A.

What activities will we do together?

Your two-week stay in Los Angeles will focus on dance.  Group activities will be decided on by the group. They can include Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood sign, Venice or Santa Monica beach, etc. Each group will have a professional dance photo shoot.

Who is the L.A. Dance Captain?

Our dance captain is a former dancer in our program who knows the studios, knows how to navigate L.A., and knows how to live in this great city. Her role is to organize, assist, soothe and encourage. She will work with the dancers to figure out class schedules, like who wants to take which classes, which bus/subway to take, the time to leave, etc. She will also suggest choreographers the dancers may like as well as pop-up events, dance shows, etc. She is in charge of our program’s TikTok and Instagram, which all dancers agree to participate. So expect to be doing dance challenges all over our fabulous city! 

Remember, we are a HUGE city but we are a kind city. Dancers help other dancers. We show love, respect and compassion for each other. 

Dancer Dorm

In order to solve the insane housing shortage and high price issue, we’ve created a dancer dorm. It’s just easier. It gives dancers a safe, clean, quiet space all together.

We are currently offering a dancer dorm for only four dancers. It is a brand new open space studio with wi-fi, vaulted ceilings, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with walk-in shower, super fast cooling and heating system, keyless entrance, and weekly housekeeping all in a safe, quiet neighborhood.

WHERE IS THE DORM LOCATED?

Our dancer dorm is in the quiet, residential Lake Balboa neighborhood in the center of the San Fernando Valley region of L.A.

DO YOU PROVIDE FOOD?

No, you take care of buying your own food. There are plenty of stores around for all diets and tastes within walking distance from the dancer dorm.

WHAT DO YOU PROVIDE IN THE DANCER DORM?

We provide all pots, pans, appliances, dishes, etc. in the brand new, fully equipped kitchen.

We provide bed linens, dish soap, toilet paper, robot vacuum, etc.

We also provide a weekly housekeeper!

IS THERE LAUNDRY?

There is a coin laundry two blocks from the dorm. The housekeeper washes bed linens.
