Dance In L.A.- Two Weeks Faq
Dance In L.A. – Month Summary
Dance and live in Los Angeles!
This is the ONLY program that gives dancers a month (28 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 you see if L.A. is for you, if a dance career is for you, but in a kind, safe, loving and familial way.
We take care of housing (the biggest cost in L.A.), dance classes, Metro, and activities. This way 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. It is also extremely hard to get. 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
We will also do a ton of fun activities to explore Los Angeles, both touristy and local hot spots. You’ll explore everything from Hollywood Walk of Fame, Santa Monica, Universal Studios Venice Boardwalk, downtown districts, and classes at other studios. Plus locals only hot spots from the best roof-top views, freestyle dance sessions, Instagram spots and the best places to shop.
Selective Group
At this time, we only accept four dancers a month. Space is purposely limited to maintain a comprehensive dance training schedule.
Cost
Los Angeles is an expensive city. Period. But, we’ve created the most economical program to help dancers dance!
SELECTION
We choose our dancers based on their passion for dance.
