WELCOME STUDIOS!

Studio information and fees will only be sent if the studio email below matches the email listed on your studio's website. If your email is not listed on your website, or you would like it sent to another email address, please DM us on Instagram from your studio Instagram account OR call us at (818) 217-1188 from the studio phone number shown on your website so we can verify with caller ID.

A minimum of 10 Workshop classes
Participant wristband

  • Runway Show (More info coming soon)
  • Rewind (Closing Show)
  • Bonus Tracks (Our industry-first Friday night event that will include performances, College Dance Team experience and more!)
Studios may include additional administrative fees. This is a standard practice in the dance industry, helping to cover the time, coordination, and expenses studios take on when organizing, registering, and attending events.

One-day Workshop registration is available.

Press Play does not offer single Workshop class rates.

On-site Workshop registrations are not guaranteed and will be accepted based on availability.

Observers

For our inaugural season, Press Play is welcoming Observers into the Workshop rooms. This policy will be reevaluated in future seasons. Please note that Press Play reserves the right to limit the availability of Observer Bands in certain cities, based on space and capacity needs.

  • Before requesting an Observer Band, please check with your studio to confirm their policies regarding Observers.
  • Observer Bands may be purchased in advance through your studio. If you plan to purchase an Observer Band on-site, please be prepared to provide the dancer’s full name, studio affiliation and date of birth for security verification.
  • Observers 10 years and under are complimentary while accompanied by a paid adult Observer. Strollers are not permitted in workshop rooms.
  • Observer bands are required for all workshop classes, including Friday Night Classes. Observers are not allowed access to the Teacher/Studio Owner room, Audition Combo class, Audition, or closed rehearsals at any time.
  • By attending as an Observer, you acknowledge that the ballroom is, first and foremost, a learning environment. To ensure a safe, focused, and positive experience for all dancers, proper classroom etiquette is expected at all times.
  • Seat saving is not permitted at any time. If a chair is physically unoccupied, Press Play considers it available for use by any Observer. Press Play also reserves the right to remove bags or personal items from empty seats to ensure space is available for paying Observers.
  • At Press Play, we are happy to offer Observers the opportunity to share in the excitement and artistry of our classes. However, because students can be easily distracted, we strongly recommend limiting attendance to no more than one Observer per dancer or group at any given time.
  • Please note that Observer Band access is granted at the discretion of Press Play. If disruptive behavior occurs—such as excessive talking, phone use, distracting conduct, or treating the classroom as a social space—we reserve the right to revoke Observer privileges at any time, with or without notice. Paid bands will be refunded if access is revoked.

Thank you for helping us maintain a supportive and productive classroom environment!

Independent Dancers

  • At Press Play, we believe dancers thrive through consistent training with a reputable dance studio. However, we recognize that in certain situations, a dancer may participate as an "independent." For our purposes, an independent dancer is defined as someone not affiliated with a physical studio or actively training through a structured, ongoing program. We understand this distinction can be nuanced. As such, any questions regarding independent status will be addressed at the discretion of the Press Play Directors.
    • Independent dancers are welcome to attend the Press Play Workshop.
    • Independent dancers are not eligible to compete in the Press Play Competition.
    • While they are not eligible for Audition Scholarships, independent dancers may be considered for Class Scholarships.
  • Individual/Independent pricing will be available once you create an "individual account" with our online registration system. The registration system will be available on August 5.
