In mid-February Dance New Amsterdam—a cultural center formerly known as Dance Space Center—relocated from SoHo to a bilevel 25,000-square-foot space within the historic Sun building. The modern venue has six studios, a reception area, and a theater available for events, all with large windows, colorful accents, and full audiovisual, lighting, and sound capabilities. Highlights include Studio 2 with its south-facing windows, view of City Hall, maple-wood floor, and original columns; and large skylights above Studios 3 and 4; and the 1,100-square-foot reception area. The versatile 2,270-square-foot theater has many options including a telescoping riser seating system (it seats 140 in proscenium theater configuration), blackout shades for the windows, and curtains that can be removed. —Anna Sekula
