We're really excited to bring in world-class artists who will also be inhabiting this space. And what I really love about it is that there are times when one can enter the building and be surprised to see creation in process as they walk past and see dancers and choreographers working together and making new works.
Jennifer Harrison Newman DRA '11, Associate Artistic Director, Yale Schwarzman Center

Performance and practice spaces for dance have always been premium real estate on campus; the Dance Studio answers the call for dedicated space in a premium way. Featuring Harlequin Standfast vinyl over a sprung floor, a full mirror, dance barre, and changing rooms, the Studio is perfect for all dance styles, from ballet to bhangra, from ballet folklórico to break dance and beyond. Students, guest artists, and community members can use this space to learn new dance styles, fine tune their expertise, and even bring new dance forms together.

In the spirit of creative collaboration and innovation, technology additions to the space push the boundaries of performance: mounted speakers, a projector with drop-down screen, and PTZ camera open the doors to ‘teledance’ and tech-enhanced performances. Enter the building, perhaps on their way to another space, and stop to admire poetry in motion. And if you’re not on campus, the PTZ camera means you might be able to admire creation in progress from wherever you are.
