Acker 204/ARTS 108

Dance Hall Art & Humanities Building

These are our larger dance/rehearsal studio spaces, housed across the campus in the athletics building and in the new Humanities and Arts Building. The studio is a huge, open space, well fitted with ballet barres, a wall of mirrors, flexible seating arrangements and set/prop storage, which allow for classroom use as well as workshop productions.

The space is where our dance technique, choreography, and dance production classes are taught as well as many of our acting classes. We also use this versatile space in the evenings for rehearsals of many of our productions, including Chico Dance Theatre and the big spring musical.
