ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD SUMMER TOUR
ABOUT US
​
The Hollywood Summer Tour, founded in 2006, is an INVITATION-ONLY dance career intensive intended for advanced dancers who are serious about learning about the commercial dance industry in Hollywood.
In 2022, we launched a NEW BUSINESS OF DANCE - a 6 month online mentorship program to help dancers prepare and create their dream dance careers.

Both programs will provide each dancer with all the tools needed to get started and be successful in this cut-throat dance industry.

We only take on a select group of high-level dancers from all over the world to participate in our programs.

They will be mentored by top industry professionals who are actively working in the entertainment industry.
