Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre/Notes in Motion is excited to announce the completion of phase one renovations on its NEW HOME in downtown Manhattan! We are looking forward to phase two renovations being completed in 2025 as well as the addition of new dance classes this January. The new Amanda Selwyn Dance Studio will be a home for both the professional company, Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre, as well as for Notes in Motion dance education programs. There will be offerings for professional dancers, dance enthusiasts, families, young dancers, emerging professionals, and college students. The Amanda Selwyn Dance Studio will present a variety of programs that include audiences in the creative process, engage pre-professional and emerging artists, and expand the reach of our dance education programs, while creating a home base to deepen the creative and performance work of the company.

After 25 years as a nomadic organization, we have secured a lease for a multi-functional dance studio located at 412 Broadway in Tribeca. The studio will function as a rehearsal space, informal performance space, event space, space for workshops, classes, education programs, community building, and office. The focus of our design plans is versatility to create easy transitions between programs. With our own home studio space, we will be positioned to advance our cross-pollinated programs between performance, education, and community engagement. Our Studio events will include audiences in the creative process, engage pre-professional and emerging artists, and expand the reach of dance education programs, while creating a home base to deepen the creative and performance work of the company.

The renovation includes the following components:
Studio Lighting - energy-efficient LED color-changing theatrical fixtures, lighting console
Dance Flooring - sound attenuation layered floor with harlequin flexity sprung floor on top with a permanent cascade finish
Ceilings - sound attenuation
Curtains - create optimal performance space capabilities

The Amanda Selwyn Dance Studio will present a variety of programs that include audiences in the creative process, engage pre-professional and emerging artists, and expand the reach of our dance education programs, while creating a home base to deepen the creative and performance work of the company.
