Our DLA Training Program is for dancers 18-30 who have an interest in working professionally in the dance industry. Dancers must be able to commit to at least 10 hours a week ( 8 hours of required classes, and 2 hours a week for rehearsals) to study at Danceline LA. Our training program allows for dancers to work daytime hours if needed, and be able to train during our evening hours. We have a group of well rounded and expert teachers who can’t wait to work with dancers who are dedicated, eager, and passionate about dance.
- For students ages 18-30 (ages 16+ OK with parents permission)
- Choose from 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year with the option to extend
- Choose 8 classes weekly from our drop-in schedule.
- Classes are for students at levels Basic through Advanced in a multitude of styles.
- Develop relationships with your teachers through ongoing faculty mentoring—one-on-one sessions providing personal evaluations and coaching.
- Performing opportunities
- Positive and nurturing staff on hand to help guide your studies.
Notes:
Dancers can join throughout the year!
Working or attending school part-time is acceptable.
Danceline LA has a safe and friendly environment, which is perfect for young dancers coming to LA for the first time. We are dedicated to offering guidance on how to navigate the dance scene and set dancers up for success! Our teachers will have a more personal connection with our DLA training group to help them network and make amazing connections in the industry.
Our training program is unique in the sense that we allow students in the training program to work during the day, or even attend school. Our classes are offered during the evening hours, which makes it easy for almost everyone's schedule!
At the end of your training we also has an added perk of possible opportunities within the Danceline LA Company. Some students discover that they have a passion for teaching or choreography. If the shoe fits…the opportunity could be yours to have a job with us.
We also differ from other training programs by offering dancers who just aren’t ready to leave the nest, to stay with us for as long needed to continue training!
