The show is filmed at the CBS Television City in Los Angeles. Yes, it’s the same iconic complex where The Price is Right and The Late Late Show live. Studio 46 is the main ballroom, a cavernous space built for pure spectacle.
It’s not a glamorous Hollywood soundstage you picture. It’s a working TV factory, buzzing with cables, cameras, and frantic producers. The sparkle you see on screen is a carefully crafted illusion.
Ghosts of Past Performances
Studio 46 has seen it all. That floor has been splattered with fake blood from a Halloween dance. It’s also been covered in soap bubbles for a “slippery” routine. The crew still finds glitter in the air vents from seasons ago.
Imagine the ghost stories. Len Goodman’s stern voice still echoes in the rafters. And somewhere, a stray feather from a paso doble cape is probably stuck to a light fixture. It’s a living, breathing history book of terrible puns and perfect tens.
