Where the weekend lives
Our home for the weekend. A premium LA dance studio chosen for the way it holds a floor, a room, and every dancer on it.

Why we chose it
A premium LA dance studio with the warmth, the gear, and the heart to hold a community for a full weekend of dance. Grade-A sound, sprung floors, and an atmosphere that welcomes every dancer the moment they step inside.

52 / What the studio holds
Grade-A
amenities,
built for dancers.
Here is the studio, in plain detail. Floors, sound, light, and air, all the things that make a weekend feel safe to move in. We publish them because we are proud of them, and because we want you to know exactly what your body is walking into.
The Chills Dance Camp venue in Los Angeles features a 2,900-square-foot sprung dance floor, L-Acoustics sound system, 18-foot ceilings, full HVAC climate control, two private changing rooms with showers, and a capacity of 180 dancers. The venue is ADA-compliant with step-free access and gender-neutral restrooms.
i.
Floor
Sprung, full room.
Weatherproof laminated flooring over a sprung basket sub-floor, 2,900 square feet of continuous marley rolled fresh the week before doors. The healthiest surface we could give your knees, ankles, and the long hours they are about to put in.

Four friendly ways to the door. Fly in, ride in, or drive in, whichever fits your weekend. We want the trip to the studio to feel as welcoming as the room itself.

Map / Approach
DROP.IMAGE4:3
Air
Fly in Thursday.
LAX is closest for long-haul travel, with Hollywood Burbank a warmer choice if the schedule allows. Both land you within an easy rideshare of the studio. Customs is gentler at Burbank, and so is the drive in.
40 min / rideshare
Rail
The station is four stops out.
Coming by Metro or Amtrak? The Red Line and local buses will get you within a short walk of the studio on a budget, and rideshare fills in the last leg for anyone carrying gear.
5 blocks / walking
Drive
Bring the car, leave it parked.
The studio sits in a calm pocket of the neighborhood with grid streets and clean signage. If you are driving in, aim for before six on Friday or after nine, and the last turn is the easy one.
One turn / grid streets
Park
A small surface lot, a larger garage.
On-site parking is easy drive-in access, with a larger garage a block north for the late arrivals. Street parking is legal and metered until eight, and every route to the door is well lit.

55 / Neighborhood
Four
rooms
worth walking to.
The streets around the studio are full of cafes, shops, and little parks worth exploring between classes. These four are the rooms we love most. Tell them you are here for Chills. You will feel the neighborhood open up.

01
Doors open.
Friday at 8:30 AM. Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 AM. The first class begins thirty minutes after doors open. If you arrive late, a host will welcome you in at the next natural break so the room stays held.
02
Coat check.
Free and staffed, just inside the entry. Drop your bag, take your number, come back for it any time. The coat check closes twenty minutes after the last set, and nothing gets left behind.
03
Identification.
Please bring a government photo ID every day, and have your ticket QR ready alongside it so the line at the door stays warm and moving.
04
Re-entry.
Yes, twice per day, with your ID and QR. Step out for air, a call, a quiet moment around the block. A host will stamp your hand on the way out. Water and sparkling are always free inside.
05
Photo and video.
Phones down on the floor so every dancer can feel held. A house photographer works Friday and Saturday, and their frames land in your inbox the following week. No live streaming, no flash, out of care for the room.
06
Leaving.
Friday wraps at 7:00 PM. Saturday and Sunday wrap at 8:00 PM (Sunday includes CHILLS Conversations until 8:30 PM). Say your goodbyes on the floor, trade numbers in the lobby.
