Best Photo Studios for Dance Videos in Los Angeles

Dancers and content producers in Los Angeles know that a dance video’s success or failure depends on the location they choose. You need enough room to move around, proper lighting, and suitable flooring. The studio space you choose is important whether you’re shooting a music video, a dance reel, or choreography for social media.

FD Photo Studio is a popular choice among LA’s dance community. We offer affordable, well-equipped photo studios for rent that work great for dancers. From hip-hop sessions to high-heels choreography in rain room, these studios give dancers what they need to create great videos.

Open Space Studios

RGB Cave Photo Studio in Los Angeles Yukon 5

Blackout photo studio in Los Angeles, 10 min away from LAX, features an RGB ceiling. Drive-in gate for car access is available. The ceiling changes color and can sync with music, which works great for music videos and TikTok dance content.

This blackout photo studio for rent gives you full control over the lighting, important when filming dance videos that need the same exposure throughout. The studio has a drive-in gate with car access for easy unloading, as well as a room for makeup and changing.

Large Production Studio with Neon Cube and Wall Projector Yukon 4

Large rental production photo studio with car access in Los Angeles, located just 10 min away from LAX, studio Yukon 4 spans 1860 square feet of creative space with 16-foot high ceilings. The tall ceilings let dancers do lifts or aerial movements which can’t fit in regular studios.

Dancer @iam.madiina at Studio Yukon 4

The studio features a 6×6 foot Neon Cube and includes makeup and changing room for your convenience. A ceiling-mounted projector lets you add images or videos to the background, creating dynamic backdrops for your choreography. The big floor plan lets multiple dancers move freely without getting cramped in the frame, perfect for synchronized group choreography.

Dancer @saraito1 at Studio Olympic 3

Best for: Clean, professional dance reels, audition videos, ballet and contemporary pieces that need neutral backgrounds.

The white cyclorama wall gives professional reels the timeless appearance that choreographers and casting directors anticipate from dance videos. Olympic 3 features a vintage TV wall for retro-style creative shots, an RGB tunnel for dramatic lighting effects, and RGB lights positioned above the cyc wall for customizable color washes. The turntable makes it easy to film smooth circular shots that follow the dancer as they move.

Why Dancers Choose FD Photo Studio in Los Angeles

FD Photo Studio offers 4-hour, 8-hour, and 12-hour packages with discounted hourly rates. Weekday packages cost less than weekend ones. Smart scheduling helps content creators get the best value while filming in professional studios.

Rent Your Dance Video Studio in Los Angeles

FD Photo Studio has a variety locations in Los Angeles:

Main Studios: 530 East 8th Street Los Angeles, CA 90014

Hill Studios: 1808 S Hill St unit 204, Los Angeles, CA 90015

Olympic Studios: 3316 E Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90023

Yukon Studios: 12828 Yukon Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250

When planning your dance video shoot, consider the following:

Floor Type: FD studios feature various flooring types including concrete, laminate, and wood floors. Dancers can schedule a free 15-minute studio scout to check if the flooring works for their dance style. Bring appropriate shoes or consider laying down portable dance flooring for styles that need specific surfaces. Many studios have wood floors, which many dancers prefer for hip-hop, contemporary, and barefoot choreography styles.

Ceiling Height: Studios like Large Production Studio with Neon Cube and Wall Projector Yukon 4offer 16-foot high ceilings, which you need for choreography with jumps, lifts, or overhead camera angles.

Sound System: FD studios include Bluetooth speakers. Confirm audio equipment availability when you book if you need synchronized music playback for your shoot.

Crew Size: Think about how many dancers, camera operators, and support staff you’ll have. Larger studios like Large Metal Hangar Studio in Los Angeles comfortably accommodate crews of 50 or more people.

Natural Light vs. Controlled Light: Choose between daylight studios with windows or blackout studios where you control every light source. Dance videos emphasizing natural, organic movement often work better with daylight studios, while concept pieces that need specific moods work better in controlled blackout spaces.

Daylight vs. Blackout Studios: How to Choose the Best Setup

TikTok and Social Media Dance Content

Short-form dance content is huge on social media, and FD Photo Studio locations work well for this. Compared to ordinary filming in a bedroom or garage, the studios’ professional lighting and backgrounds enhance the look of your dance content.

Studios like blackout photo studio with a color-changing RGB ceiling Yukon 5 which have RGB lighting, help TikTok dance creators produce visually striking content that stands out in crowded feeds. Being able to quickly change lighting colors between takes lets content creators film multiple dance challenges during a single rental session.

Dancers @itsslavik and @dance10fikshun at Yukon 5

Rain room studios like large black cyc wall and rain feature Olympic 2 produce particularly striking content for Instagram Reels and TikTok. The water effect increases viewer engagement and creates content that stops the scroll.
