A Burbank institution since 1958, Garri Dance Studio promises friendly customer service and small classes to provide personal attention to their students. The studio itself features floating dance floors to reduce the resistance that can cause injury. Their summer camps include a princess and pirate theme and a "Glee" camp that incorporates hip-hop and other dance moves in a camp that also teaches acting and singing. Hip-hop also figures heavily in their "So You Think You Can Dance" Camp, along with jazz, hula, gymnastics and contemporary dance. Camp registration forms are available on the studio's website.
