Westmor Dance Studio
As most of us know, the most incredible dance legends have trained and performed within these magnificent walls, making the Westmor iconic in the world of dance. But did you know that these walls hold even greater history, starting in the 1930's? The studio was built of a founding father of cinema in the United States and American filmmaker Cecil Blount DeMille.
Before the Westmor was the "Westmor," it was actually the Ernest Belcher Dance Studio in 1930. Take a closer look at these photos. The original Ernest Belcher Dance Studio balcony is now gone along with the arched entrances, however the figural sculpture under the window ledge still remains today.
Ernest Belcher was a ballet dancer and choreographer who studied ballet in London, however ballet was not his only style of dance. Belcher taught dancing in Southern California and founded two dance schools, one of which was the studio we now call The Westmor. He coached notable dancers such as Fred Astaire, Maria Tallchief, Shirley Temple, Cyd Charisse, and many more. Belcher also worked for Walt Disney Studios, and his daughter, Marge, was the model for the original Snow White! He was known as the "Father of Ballet in Southern California."
We all know of Shirley Temple. Shirley attended ballet classes taught by Mr. Belcher in preparation for her 1939 movie, The Little Princess. Ernest Belcher also staged the ballet in this film. The certificate you see below was presented to Shirley for passing 3rd grade ballet on February 1, 1938, signed by Ernest Belcher. That's right... Shirley Temple was trained right within these walls!
