The Dancehouse is a dance studio and small theatre space that was created in 2012 for fine and performing artists. Originally, The Dancehouse was formed out of a warehouse in the East Village area of downtown, San Diego, solely to fulfill the need of more consistent, convenient, and affordable rehearsal space. After 6 years of events, rehearsals, a small amount of classes, and regular public rentals, The Dancehouse chose to relocated to another warehouse in Point Loma and has began to expand its public dance classes schedule and events. We have had incredible support from The Rock Church Dog Ministry, Bite Dance Company members, Catalyst Dance Ensemble members, and Kruciaal Element Dance Company members, in addition to an immeasurable amount of people with huge hearts that have blessed us with help, gifts, love, and support throughout the years.

We are still currently renting out space to local companies, teachers, and independent contractors; the current rental rate for dance rehearsals is $20/hr for regular renters, $25/hr for one time renters, $35-$55/hr for events, and more! Contact us now to make reservations at info@thedancehouse.com.
