Our Company Philosophy

There are many conventions to choose from and we seek to align with studios that mirror our core values!

Respect

We respect studios and dancers at all levels of their development

There is always room to master technique, but dance at any level improves mental capacity, coordination, self esteem, self expression, physical health and emotional well being.

Support

Our goal is to compliment the in-studio training which is the true foundation of any artist.

Our events offer classes and opportunities to perform outside of the studio, as well as support the owners and teachers that are doing the real work with our studio owner business classes.

Service

Our exceptional customer service is unparalleled in the industry.

We respond to emails in a timely manner. We appreciate feedback and look for ways to grow and improve the convention experience.

Integrity

We aim to lead by example.

HC is committed to honesty, excellence, and the genuine passion to inspire and uplift our community.

Community

No drama. No ego. Just dance. The way it should be.

We attract like minded studios that value quality over quantity. A community that appreciates and values the hard work and dedication of their competitors.

Inclusivity

We strive to bring out the best in everyone.

We provide a safe space for learning and exploring, where dancers feel comfortable to take risks in their dance journey.

Teamwork

We value and encourage Teamwork.

Teamwork encourages a dancer to be vulnerable and builds trust. It opens dancers up to new friendships and experiences. A team that can work together and stay together is the definition of success.

Discipline

We believe competition builds strength, character, and grace.

Our goal is to provide dancers the opportunity to showcase their hard work and an incentive to advance in their training and technique. We appreciate all styles of dance, not just the trends. Teams are rewarded for technique, showmanship and choreography but also the ability to tell a story and entertain an audience.

Guidance

The act or function of guiding; leadership; direction.

Not everyone wants to be a professional dancer, but the life lessons taught during convention classes and during the audition process will set your dancer up for success, regardless of the profession they choose.

Dance with us

I started attending Hollywood Connection when I was a dance teacher. As a teacher, I always appreciated the gift bags, faculty meals and teacher classes. Each of these things really helped build a sense of community amongst teachers, studio owners and Hollywood Connection (HC) faculty. I enjoyed watching my students take classes. I always felt that the HC faculty were not only incredibly experienced and talented but that they truly cared about the dancers. When the time came for me to open up my own dance studio, I was excited to bring my new studio to Hollywood Connection. As a new studio owner, I had no idea how overwhelming registering for dance conventions could be. I had so many questions my first year and made so many registration mistakes. Not only was the HC office staff friendly and helpful but they always went above and beyond to answer my many questions. Now as our studio enters its 7th season, we consider Hollywood Connection our extended dance family. From the HC faculty, to the dancers and teachers from other studios...we get excited to see everyone when we attend a convention weekend! The sense of community is uplifting. If you don't know everyone when you arrive on Friday, chances are you will leave Sunday with lots of new friends! We especially love Nationals when we can see all of our dance friends from studios from all over the country!

Hollywood Connection has become a beloved place over the years where my dancers feel connected and cared for by the teachers and staff. My dancers feel seen and appreciated for their ability to not only dance but to tell stories through movement. Hollywood Connection praises individuality and creativity while fostering artistry. The positive environment leaves my dancers feeling uplifted and excited about dance at the end of every weekend we attend.

Since our first year attending in 2019, Hollywood Connection has become more than just an event for us; it’s a family. The HC staff consistently demonstrate exceptional warmth and dedication, taking the time to connect with studio owners, teachers, and dancers alike. What sets Hollywood Connection apart is its unwavering commitment to nurturing and shaping young artists into confident performers. The faculty goes above and beyond to ensure that each dancer feels valued and celebrated. We are immensely grateful to be part of the Hollywood Connection community!

I’ve been attending Hollywood Connection for over 15 years. In that time, HC’s commitment to providing an excellent studio owner experience has never changed. The faculty and staff make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive on sight. Each member of their team has an answer for your questions and if they don’t have it, they get it immediately. Regional dance convention/comp weekends are long and exhausting. So, when HC provides teachers and studio owners a breakfast or lunch, I know they get it. When HC offers guest speakers at their events, I feel they truly believe in helping the dance studio community. Their regional events are always a hit with my students, and we have thoroughly enjoyed their Nationals for many years. They run their competitions on time and provide a positive on-stage experience for my students, which my clientele loves. My biggest compliment goes to their efforts in communication. They answer their phones and respond to emails in a timely manner. If something needs to be adjusted or changed with registration, they make it happen. From day one of regional registration, all the way through to the last award given at the Nationals Gala, Bill Bohl and his team at HC make things easy and fun for the dancers, families, and most importantly, the studio owners.

We started coming to Hollywood Connection when our studio only consisted of six dancers! I chose to bring my dancers to their convention, because growing up it was always my favorite! The faculty always did such an amazing job of making me feel seen and recognized! Even though we started coming as a really small studio Hollywood Connection treated us the same as if we would've had a ton of dancers! Now we normally attend 3-4 cities a year, bringing most of our company to each! Hollywood Connection has truly provided an environment where my dancers feel important. They also award creativity, which is one of our main focuses in the studio! It is so nice to go to an event where dancers are recognized for who they are individually and not just compared to one another. Lastly, now as a studio owner and director, it is so nice to see my dancers experience what I did with Hollywood Connection growing up! Truly is a full circle moment.

My studio has been attending Hollywood Connection since their 1st season and we have not missed a season since. I was instantly drawn to Hollywood Connection because of the quality of their faculty, the amazing classes and seminars they provide for the Studio Owners and Instructors and of course how welcoming Bill & Kimberly are to everyone. Bill & Kimberly make you feel like you are part of their family. They really care about your dancers and want to help them in their dance education. I have had many dancers continue in their dance career after High School with the help of Hollywood Connection. I appreciate how they continue to bring new and exciting classes and seminars every season. WE LOVE HOLLYWOOD CONNECTION!

We have gone to a lot of different events over the years and I can honestly say that nothing compares to the magic you guys have put together. My dancers always come back feeling like they have been supported and we can always feel that your teachers are truly invested in seeing the dancers succeed. I have never felt like you were just happy to get my check! That isn’t always the case when we go to convention, so I just wanted you to know that I appreciate everything that you do!

Nina Koch

There are lots of choices out there for dance conventions and we are so pleased to come to a place where it’s not just about fame, fortune and flash, but also about learning what the most important things are about dance, about yourself AND about life. Finally, thank you so much for taking the time to really pay attention, teach and recognize so many students throughout the weekend and during the awards. Your recognition this weekend changed some Thrive lives!

Over the past 15 years with Evolution Dance Center, I’ve experienced many conventions, but Hollywood Connection (HC) consistently stands out in a league of its own. The most remarkable aspect of HC is the genuine connection between the faculty and dancers. The HC Faculty doesn't just teach—they invest in each dancer’s journey. They take the time to understand individual strengths and challenges, offering encouragement that goes far beyond the dance floor. It’s not just about perfect technique (though they certainly reward that!)—it’s also about acknowledging effort, growth, and a love for dance. The supportive feedback from the judges and the educational approach to auditions create a welcoming space for all dancers to learn and grow.

Lisa Esposito

"At Hollywood Connection, the magic of dance is brought to life by Bill Bohl and his extraordinary faculty. Here, dancers are not just numbers; they are unique individuals with their own stories and dreams. The faculty at Hollywood Connection takes the time to know the dancers by name, passionately investing in their growth through heartfelt feedback that not only celebrates their successes but also lights the way for them to become true artists. As a studio owner, I witness the transformative power of this dedication firsthand. My dancers, staff, and parents leave Hollywood Connection inspired and eager for more, ready to embrace every challenge and opportunity. The nurturing environment and personalized attention foster a love for dance that lasts a lifetime. Hollywood Connection isn’t just a convention or competition; it’s a community where passion and artistry flourish."
