UMDGC's Studio 1 is a 950 s.f. with full-length mirrors, wall-mounted and movable ballet barres, sprung floor from StageStep (located in Philadelphia), and variable-speed cd player. Studio 1 will be used primarily for ballet and preschool classes. It was UMDGC's original dance studio.
UMDGC's Studio 2 opened in June 2007. It is a 750 s.f. with full-length mirrors and sprung floor from StageStep. Studio 2 will be used primarily for tap because of the better sound-quality.
Gym 1 is 7,500 s.f. and was the original gymnastics workout area. Classes and camps all start off in this gym as it houses the floors and trampolines for warm-ups. It also houses gymnastics most difficult events (beam and pommel horse), as well as the vault. Cheerleaders will love the trampolines, airtrak, and tumbltrak.
