ABOUT US
LA’s Hottest Dance studio brought to you by Robin Antin and Kenny Wormald.
Located on the famous Melrose Ave, in Los Angeles, PLAYGROUND LA is the signature and original location of the Playground brand, founded by Pussycat Doll Creator Robin Antin and Actor & world-renowned choreographer Kenny Wormald.
PLAYGROUND LA started the legacy that continues today, offering master classes, daily dance, and dance fitness sessions, all taught by industry-leading teachers and choreographers. Located in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, Playground LA embodies the essence of the brand, welcoming you with its inviting atmosphere, spacious studio, industrial design, and the iconic PLAYGROUND brand's P-L-A-Y letters proudly displayed.
Since its inception in February 2017, Playground LA has been the cornerstone of the Los Angeles dance community, setting the stage for esteemed industry talent and fostering diverse artistic expression. It has been a beloved hub for dance enthusiasts, professionals, and artists alike.
Playground's journey began with auditions from industry giants like Mandy Moore, Jamal Sims, Tyce Diorio, and Fatima, among others. It hosted special class events featuring renowned figures such as Dancing With the Stars' Val and Jenna, Marty Kudelka, and the award-winning Brian Friedman.
The Playground brand has been synonymous with hosting events and classes for prominent brands like Nike, Adidas, PUMA, Red Bull, Kappa, and more. It has also been a sought-after location for music video shoots, movies, TV shows, dance reality TV shows, concept video shoots, auditions, and commercials. Playground LA has graced the screens of entertainment news programs including EXTRA TV, Entertainment Tonight, and KTLA.
Celebrity visitors and participants have included Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross, Cameron Diaz, Justin Bieber, Nicole Scherzinger, Renee Bargh, Maddie Ziegler, Gabby Douglas, and Claire Holt, among others, who have rehearsed, filmed, and taken classes at PLAYGROUND LA.
PLAYGROUND LA became everyone’s favorite place to dance, rehearse, take class, get fit, shoot, film and much more.
In response to popular demand and our commitment to expanding the PLAYGROUND community and brand, we introduced PGTV in 2021. Hosting over 100 online tutorials and exclusive content, PGTV provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience and all-access pass to PLAYGROUND LA and your favorite PGLA choreographers. With memberships, tutorials, LIVE classes, special offers, brand promotions, and access to a members-only PGTV community, it's your gateway to the vibrant dance world that PLAYGROUND LA started.
As the signature and original location of the Playground brand, PLAYGROUND LA is where the legacy began, and it continues to inspire, nurture, and celebrate the art of dance in Los Angeles and beyond. It's the foundation on which the PLAYGROUND journey was built and where it continues to thrive, hosting some of the most incredible talent in the world of dance and entertainment.
In 2023, PLAYGROUND expanded its footprint with the opening of PLAYGROUND LONDON in London, UK. This year, in 2024, we proudly unveiled a brand-new studio in LA, directly next door to our original LA location, aptly named 'NEXT DOOR.' Additionally, Hulu premiered our reality show titled "PLAYGROUND," which follows a group of dancers who teach and train at our Melrose Avenue studio, including our owners, dancer and choreographer Kenny Wormald, and Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin. The show, executive produced by Megan Thee Stallion, premiered on Hulu in July 2024.
