As mentioned previously, things are afoot (ahem) in Baltimore dance space development.
Over the summer, Dance Solutions opened in Arbutus.
Baltimore City is working on Future Fitness and Wellness Centers.
Opening this fall (move in November), City Arts 2 is a $16 million 60-unit artists housing complex that features an on-site dance studio in the Station North arts district.
Not to be left out, Kevin Plank has put $5 million into the Living Classrooms Youth Development Center.
While it’s impossible to isolate the dollars committed to dance in these projects, multiple real estate projects in Baltimore this year include dance. This is good news for dancers throughout the city – developers recognize the lack of dance space and are actually doing something about it. There is still much, much more to do.
Know something I missed? Please let me know….
[update!]
Of course I missed something…. tucked away in R.House, we find The Movement Lab. This one is unique – R.House is a food incubator – 50,000 square feet and 10 chefs in Remington (a bit northwest of Station North Arts District). Details on classes and offerings require registration, but opening in October.
