We wanted a better dance studio

Welcome to SoHo Dance LA, a vibrant and inclusive dance community founded by Raul Santiago, Latin Hustle Champion.

Our high-energy atmosphere is a bit unconventional, allowing you to unwind and let the stresses of your day melt away. We welcome dancers from all walks of life and skill levels—from complete beginners to seasoned pros looking to refine their skills. Our goal is to help everyone gain confidence on the dance floor, whether you’re starting from scratch or aiming to compete as a pro-am champion.

In 2025, we are proud to welcome world-class dancer and choreographer Michael Ducre as the owner of our third location. His expertise and passion for dance make him a valuable addition to our SoHo family.

Beyond dance classes, we foster a sense of community through monthly gatherings, emphasizing the importance of connection and belonging. At SoHo Dance LA, we are more than just a dance studio; we are a social club where everyone is invited to thrive.

Come join us! We can’t wait to dance with you.
