Choreographer's Carnival

Choreographer's Carnival lands at The Vermont Hollywood on Thursday, September 24, starting at 9:30 PM. It's the kind of Hollywood event that centers the human body itself as the main spectacle: choreographers take the stage, the floor opens up, and the room gets pulled into pure movement.

The Vermont Hollywood is one of the more interesting concert and performance spaces on North Vermont Avenue. Over 13,000 square feet, three full bars, a VIP mezzanine, and a main dance floor that can hold a proper crowd without losing the feeling that you're watching something live and immediate. The building has been running arts events long enough that the staff actually know how to hold an audience for something other than a DJ set.

Choreographer's Carnival runs until 1:30 AM on Friday morning, which gives the night room to breathe. Early sets will likely showcase individual choreographers, and as the evening builds, expect the energy on the floor to carry forward.

If you're looking for LA concerts and live performance events that go beyond the standard band-plays-set format, this fits the bill. Dance performance at a venue of this size rarely gets programmed outside of big-ticket institutional shows; an event like this, priced accessibly and running on a weeknight, is worth noting.

Tickets range from $31.76 to $43.87, depending on tier, and are available through Eventbrite. For things to do near me in the Hollywood and Los Feliz corridor, the Vermont Avenue strip runs north from the 101 and parking is available along side streets. The Red Line Vermont/Sunset station is two blocks south, making this one of the easier live events to reach without a car.

The Vermont Hollywood sits at 1020 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90029, right where Hollywood meets the east side. Concerts in Los Angeles at this latitude tend to draw from Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and Echo Park as much as from Hollywood proper, and this night will probably be no different.

Doors open at 9:30 PM. Bring your ticket confirmation and some space on the floor.
