The Hop reopens with the college's first dedicated dance studio and a full slate of dance programming from legendary choreographers, featuring a full range of traditional to modern dance styles.
The Hop finally has a rehearsal space dedicated exclusively to dance. Positioned on the lower level, directly beneath the Recital Hall and partially below ground level, the Hodgson Family Dance Studio includes 20-foot ceilings and a glass ribbon of windows to draw in the daylight and connect with the exterior plaza. It also includes one of four sprung floors in the new building. Mirrored walls support the dancers and reflect the light, while enhancing the sense of openness within the space. The studio is adjoined by a suite of changing rooms to support the growing demand for dance classes.
