Conduit Dance

Great modern dance studio! Gregg is a great teacher and his class is really chewy and authentic. So sad to hear they lost their beautiful space — hope they find another soon!

If you are planning to have rehearsal here or do a performance watch out! The last couple of seasons my dance company has used this venue and they are the worst! Last seasons show we were just harrassed a little bit about the stupidest stuff. There was a Conduit class in there before my rehearsal and someone left a paper cut and I got a email about it. Even if you do everything possible to lock up the studio after hours they will blame you if someone sets off the alarm and not give you proof and try to charge you for the police coming. Nobody really explains to you what to do and when they do its pretty vague. Also if you have two nights in a row they want you to break everything down (that you had to put up all by yourselves) and put it back up the next night. They make you pay for tech time and only give you a few hours. Our shows were at 730 and they did not give us the studio until 6… which meant set up with 0 time to practice or even settle in.
But the worst part was, when we set out the risers for our audience to sit in. These risers were uneven and the legs barely were on. When you would walk to set out chairs on them they shook back and forth. When i brought this to thier attention they told me that we could use the screws in the closet there if we wanted to grab our power tools and do it ourselves. REALLY?
Then they expected us to lift these very heavy risers and set the upright against the wall. I did not have my dancers do that because it is highly unsafe and we were never shown exactly how to put them back.
I run a buisness myself and consider myself a very responsible person as well as my dance company and our husbands and friends (whom of which took all of us to clear out this space and still took a hour). I paid 700 $ for two nights which is inexpensive for a space but not worth it at all! plus instead of the 100 seats they claim to fit, it only seats about 70 comfortable and without being ghetto and making people sit on pillows on the floor or behind a curtain.
THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!
