Dance Company Coming to Manchester

RichmondGrid.com has the info on Ground Zero Dance coming to the Southbank in Manchester. Great to see so much happening down in Manchester now if we can just get some growth up in Westover Hills and Stratford Hills.;

Ground Zero Dance is the resident company of Dogtown Dance Theatre, a new home for Richmond’s independent performing artists. Dogtown Dance Theatre promises a venue where independent artists and small companies can afford the time and space to create and present their work in a facility designed with them in mind.

Nestled within the Manchester Historic District on the south side of the James River the newly-renovated Dogtown Dance Theatre (109 West 15th Street) formerly the Bainbridge Junior High School Gymnasium – was built in 1939. Just as sports and recreation once were the principal activity on this site; dance, performance and community outreach now comprise the essential purpose of this beautifully refurbished facility.

Performances will not start until late May 2010.
