Varsity Gym Dance Studios
Varsity Gym Studios 208A, 208B, 208 A/B, 203
Students enrolled in Department of Theatre and Dance courses or enrolled in department-associated productions are at times granted the privilege of using Department of Theatre and Dance facilities and resources. Dance studio spaces may be reserved by dance students on a limited basis, as they are available. Access is limited to 4 hours/week and 2 hours/session, in order to accommodate the many requests that are made for studio space. Theatre and Dance classes, events, productions and program initiatives have priority in scheduling.
Reservations can be made by submitting a request on the 25Live room reservation system at least two weeks in advance of a rehearsal or event. Requests are confirmed only when the requester is notified by e-mail, usually within one week of requests made during the fall and spring semesters. Reservation requests are generally not accepted after Reading Day unless it is related to a course’s final project that semester. If you have questions, please contact the Theatre and Dance Department office by emailing dancescheduling@appstate.edu.
Priority for space reservations
1. ASU Dance Faculty (class preparation, rehearsals, creative activity or research)
2. ASU Dance majors engaging in a class or performance related project
3. Dance students engaging in academic projects for classes
4. Department-associated clubs or groups
5. *Organizations/groups not affiliated with App State Dance, but that are approved by special
arrangement with the department.
