Dance Schools in Hollywood
Hollywood is unlike any other Los Angeles neighbourhood for dance — it is the only one whose studios were built to serve the entertainment industry first. Two of the four active schools are professional-grade facilities used by working commercial dancers and as production bases for major US dance television. The other two run multi-style open schedules for children and adults, with film and television rental as a secondary line. All four sit within a half-mile of one another between Melrose Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard.
Where they sit: Melrose Avenue (industry training) · Hollywood Boulevard, west and east (commercial work and adult open classes) · Highland Avenue (children's and adult multi-style).
Industry training and commercial work
Two facilities where working commercial dancers train and where major US dance television is produced. Both run daily open classes, taught by industry choreographers, for advanced adult dancers.
