Prairie Dance Academy

Dancing
A transformation process; from learning the basic steps to dancing from the heart.
Rehearsal Spaces
The connection between learning and performing.
Teaching Spaces
The easiest classes are on the first floor and get harder as the student moves up in the building. The form moves out and up; reaching for the next stage: rehearsal.
The Staircase
The audience members come from a variety of different backgrounds who are all coming together for a common purpose.
Performance Space
The flexible black box space is accessed by the student after moving through all of the other spaces/stages. The form cantilevers out from the rest of the buildings as the breaking out point; dancing beyond the structured steps to a lifelong passion of dancing from the heart.
