Thorne Studio

The Felicitas S. Thorne Dance Studio is a soaring, light-filled space in which students take class and rehearse. It is also the home of the weekly Dance Workshop, where choreographers share works-in-progress with faculty and other students. Theatrical lighting and sound systems make Thorne a versatile laboratory for student choreographers.
