HOLLYWOOD`S HOTTEST DANCE STUDIO
The Millennium Dance Complex is known worldwide as the premiere studio of the commercial dance world and is widely referred to as a ‘the place where it all happens’. Although the studio’s A-list clientele and a faculty of the most sought after dancers and choreographers in the world has catapulted MILLENNIUM to a global brand, it still remains notably grounded, welcoming and dedicated to the highest level of service and instruction.
MDC, LOS ANGELES
Walk down the narrow, photograph-covered halls and most everyone you talk to; professional dancers, absolute beginners, celebrity recording artists or choreographers, says that although it is ‘exciting to be here’, it also ‘feels like home’ and ‘my roots are here’.
It is widely known that MILLENNIUM has a passion for supporting young talent as they develop. Many get their ‘break’ in the business from opportunities and acquaintances provided by the studio. “Being here is like rubbing Buddha’s belly for good luck in the dance world’, says a young dancer with a smile.
Mission Statement
Above all this is a place of dancing
For those who choose or cannot help
But put their body and heart and mind
To the test
Remember it is your own test
Do with it what you will
Take it to the world
Or keep it here, just for yourself
Know that to dance alone is enough
The rest are choices
We are all connected here
Young and old, expert and novice
Famous and aspiring
In all dance’s various styles and faces
Connected by a common thread
To the interior of ourselves
Via the vehicle of the physical
Connecting with our world more deeply
By connecting more deeply with ourselves
Respect the dance
Respect its dancers
Respect yourself
We have made our own world within these walls
Driven by movement and music,
Strength and love
Create what you will
Welcome to the new Millennium
