On-Going Class Schedule

NOTICE: The Dance Complex will be CLOSED on Saturday, July 4th, in observation of the holiday. The Dance Complex will be CLOSED on Friday, July 3rd, starting at 1pm. We are open on Sunday, July 5th. Please see schedule below for further class cancellations.

Dear Dancers, In years past, when important issues needed discussion, we held community meetings. This notice will need to represent such an assembly. The major news is our impending renovations.

As we've always done, we close The Complex near the last 2 weeks in August; this year Labor Day is a bit later. From Sunday, 23 August until Tuesday, 8 September, S&H Construction will be overseeing the deconstruction of the lobby and men's locker room and the creation of a fully accessible bathroom. The full scope of renovations will bring the offices to the main floor, move the reception desk back a few feet, relocate the men's locker room to the same floor as Studio 2, and install a small gender neutral bathroom on that level also. To prepare for this, the offices need to find a temporary home, as do all the lockers, sinks and paraphernalia intrinsic to major remodeling It's very exciting.

Since we first established our stewardship of the Odd Fellows Hall 18 years ago, a major goal has been to make it accessible to as many people as possible. This is the final step to bring that dream to reality. As always, we will stay open during this process and do our best to keep the building clean and safe for all dancers. The best of intentions still requires forbearance. And flexibility. Luckily, dancers are known for this. Happy Dancyn, Rozann Kraus.
