Additionally, Bleu was developing his dance skills and in 2001 began intensive training at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.

Debbie Allen, the choreographer who starred in the TV series Fame, told Dance Spirit magazine: "I think [Bleu] really has a career. Success is one thing, but a career is a much longer, broader journey".
Bleu attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, a magnet school like the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, which was portrayed in the movie and television series Fame and which Bleu's mother attended.{{Cite web |last=Katz |first=Nikki |title=Alumni Spotlight – LA County High School for the Arts |url=http://www.lachsa.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=237817&type=d&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=459520 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626090315/http://lachsa.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=237817&type=d&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=459520 |archive-date=June 26, 2017 |access-date=July 14, 2016 |publisher=lachsa.net}} During his freshman year, he won his first sizable film role in the teen action caper Catch That Kid (2004),{{efn|Also known as Catch That Girl, and Catch That Kid!.}} about a girl named Maddie Phillips and her friends Austin and Gus who decide to rob a bank after learning that money is needed to aid her ailing father Tom Phillips (Sam Robards), alongside Kristen Stewart and Max Thieriot.

In 2013, an MIT study discovered that Bleu was the third most-common biography article subject among all the different language versions of Wikipedia; pages on him were available in 194 languages, placing below only Jesus (214) and Barack Obama (200), and above Confucius (192) and Isaac Newton (191). The contradiction between Bleu's high notability on Wikipedia and low real-life notability comparative to the aforementioned historical figures made the creation of these pages unusual.{{Cite web |date=2016-01-27 |title=Why Is Corbin Bleu the Person With the Third-Most Translated Wikipedia Page in the World? |url=https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/hot-guys/news/a37580/why-is-corbin-bleu-the-person-with-the-third-most-translated-wikipedia-page-in-the-world/ |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=Seventeen |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Singer-Vine |first=Joseph Bernstein, Jaimie Etkin, Jeremy |date=2016-01-27 |title=Why The Hell Is Corbin Bleu Such A Huge Deal On Wikipedia? |url=https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/why-the-hell-is-corbin-bleu-such-a-huge-deal-on-wikipedia |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=BuzzFeed News |language=en}} Years later, a Reddit user found that these translations were likely done by a single user whose IP addresses on Wikipedia locate to Saudi Arabia. By 2019, Bleu had dropped to #5 on the list of biographies, but increased in Wikipedia notability, by then being available in 213 languages.{{Cite web |last=Shamsian |first=Jacob |date=2019-01-11 |title='High School Musical' actor Corbin Bleu has more Wikipedia pages than almost anyone else on earth and Reddit may have just solved why |url=https://www.businessinsider.nl/why-corbin-bleu-wikipedia-pages-2019-1/ |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=Business Insider Nederland |language=nl-NL}}
