Three different rehearsal spaces, floors masonite?? This is a Union shop, need to hire Union people!
Easy to work with, but the big floor is very warehousey and the floor has some damage that may be troubling for dancers. Need to doublecheck.
Unfortunately, the ballet, opera and symphony have *first right of refusal* - so you probably can't book until a month before.
No late nights.
