Sumbody Dance, Santa Monica

Every instructor holds an impressive résumé at Sumbody Dance. Featuring Jose Valencia, Jared Andrew Hughes, and Desi Jevon, the teaching roster is filled with veterans of Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, and America's Got Talent, among other shows, and it even boasts the International Salsa & Hustle Competition's 2009 World Hustle Champion, Shay Dixon. But all that talent doesn't mean anything if the students aren't having fun. That's where Sumbody Dance truly steps up.

From disco dance parties to free "'Thriller' dance" lessons, Sumbody Dance makes sure its students have a good time while learning something new. During dance lessons, teachers guide students to their goals, which may include learning to salsa or practicing the Electric Slide in a poofy gown to get ready for a work function.
