Find dance shoot locations near me

Whether or not you need permission to do a dance shoot depends entirely on the location and purpose. Shooting for private, casual purposes rather than commercial purposes often does not require a permit. If you're shooting in a public space, especially if it's in a way that will impact other people, you may indeed need permission from your city. Since these rules vary from place to place, you should check with your local film commission. Or, better yet, rent a dance shoot venue on Peerspace so you know you'll be fully covered to shoot for any purpose you desire.

Peerspace is absolutely loaded with listings for unique dance shoot locations. If you're a content creator trying to make a splash online with your dance videos, renting a unique, upscale place to shoot for a few hours will get you the kind of footage that online dance legends are made of. Among Peerspace's dance shoot locations, you'll find professional dance studios, colorful art galleries, industrial warehouse spaces, and even luxe mansions. You can even filter your results by including production equipment since some dance shoot locations (especially video production studios) will have professional backdrops, lighting equipment, and more that are available for you to use.

Doing a dance shoot on your iPhone is entirely possible since modern mobile phone cameras record excellent video. iPhone cameras shoot in up to 4K resolution, and modes like the new "Cinematic Mode" give creators even more powerful tools. Photography fundamentals still apply, though! Make sure your dancer(s) are well-lit and try to avoid moving the phone too much to avoid stabilization issues. When using the Camera app, hold your thumb on the subject to initiate Autofocus Lock, which will keep the dancer in focus even while they're moving around. Shoot the dance several times from many different angles, and craft shots where the camera rotates around the dancer as well. This will give you plenty of options for weaving these raw materials together in an editing app afterward.

Dance shoot locations average $88 per hour to rent, but it’s easy to spend less or more depending on what you’re looking for. For a space on the smaller side, expect to spend closer to $64, whereas larger venues run about $175 per hour.
