    What are the best ways to travel to WWLA?
  • If by plane…
    If you are traveling by air, we highly recommend using the Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) which is conveniently located directly across the street from our host hotel and event center.

    If you decide to use Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), please be aware that it is 27 miles away and a hotel shuttle is not available. You will need to make your own ground transportation arrangements.

  • If by car…
    If you are driving to WWLA, we are conveniently located near I-5 and a short drive from SR -170, and SR-134. Because driving directions may vary with time of day and traffic, we recommend entering the following address into your GPS: 2500 N. Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505

  • If by train…
    If you are traveling by train, you should plan your trip to either the Hollywood Burbank Airport Station, which is 0.3 miles west of the host hotel, or Burbank Airport - North, which is 0.8 miles north of the host hotel.

    What is your COVID policy?

    In light of revised guidance from federal, state, and county health departments, as well as updated policies from our sibling organizations and similar events, we will no longer be requiring COVID testing prior to WWLA. We strongly encourage testing in advance of attending as a courtesy to other dancers, and masks are more than welcome on the dance floor. We will provide further updates in the event a change to this policy becomes necessary.
