Uses: movement, contemporary dance, theater rehearsals, meetings, workshops, short-term class series (e.g. a 6-week series). Certain types of music rehearsals also work here. Not suitable for percussive dance styles: clogging, tap, flamenco, etc, as these mark and/or damage the floor.

Ceiling is 12′ center, arcing down to 8′ either side.

Floor: variegated gray marley-type dance floor over wood. Quite springy. There are mirrors but they don’t go down to the floor. No tap-dancing or other percussive dancing shoes. Avoid shoes that leave scuff marks.
