Letter from Leadership and Space Search Committees

Hi All Lovers of Free Dance near and far,

Dance Friday moved September, 2007, to 30 Common Street in Watertown, after the Phillips Church on Mt. Auburn Street closed. The Dance Friday community, in consensus at a Community Meeting, decided we should continue to look for a better space. We are grateful and lucky to have the space we are in now, but we seek your help to locate a wonderful new dance space that we can inhabit for many years.

What we are looking for:

A sprung wood floor: 2500 sq feet or larger, T-accessible; ample storage; top rent $500/night; available 52 weeks a year; child space, because we are the only adult dance in Boston that welcomes children. We need to consider proximity to neighbors (noise late at night) as well as handicap accessibility.

We recently found a space at the Brookline Tai Chi center which meets our requirements: see the invite below to the "Check-Out-The-New-Space- Dance-Party" in the upcoming event notice for 5-3-08! We are also considering some sites in Belmont, Somerville, Newton, and Jamaica Plain, but we still are welcoming as much input as we can get.

All of you, wonderful spirited dancers, have always had a place to dance on Friday nights when you came to the Boston area. Please help us continue this valuable tradition. If you have any contacts or are willing to help us finance building our permanent dream space please contact us at dancefriday@gmail.com.

Thanks. We love you.

P.S. We recently found a space with some wonderful potential (see upcoming event notice for 5-3-08), but we still are welcoming as much input as we can get.
