Dovercourt House has been a hub of various artistic activities and ventures for the past 18 years providing high-quality studio and event space for such varied activities as swing, salsa, bachata, kizomba, tango, the ’80s, country, Irish folk, waltz, and square dances: capoeira, contact improvisation, dance jams, movement meditation, dance therapy, expressive arts, studio performances,  tai chi, and yoga: artist rehearsals for productions and shows and: many private functions such as birthday parties, stags, weddings, fetish parties, office parties and private dinner/dances among other happenings.

At first consideration, it might seem those of us who love to dance, move, express, and enjoy ourselves have simple needs. We need an appropriate space that can suit many different situations and conditions and one that feels free from outside noise or distraction – a comfortable haven if you will. If the space is open, airy, possesses character, and exists close to a subway, these things are considered to be bonuses. In the search for studio space, finding a combination of all these qualities is in fact rare. Often times pillars, lack of space, noise, low-quality floors, lack of character, and/or lack of light diminish the experience and can even endanger participants.

Dovercourt House is special in that it provides all of the above needs, allowing the magic of dance and the arts to thrive as well as providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere to host a private or public event. Those who discover each individual studio seem to find a special attachment to one or another as each of the 3 available spaces possesses a unique character and charm.
