SpecialK:Yeah, the problem is solved, until they get around to demolishing the KMB to build the new engineering building. I've seen the plans. For the time being though, the GBH Alumni visistors center is the prevailing construction project, but once it's done, we won't have any place to dance. I did get some info about where we can voice our concerns about a replacement venue before it's too late.
The planning office on campus is located 240 BRWB. The director is Warren Jones.So we need to figure out a plan to get wood dancing floors after the KMB is gone, and approach these guys about making it stick. Incidentally, aren't we required to have a faculty adviser? It seems like any major bureaucratic room wrangling might be smoother with some help.
It's true, but not for 2 or 3 years
Not enough places to dance... that could be a problem. Someone might have to do something ridiculously unheard-of like opening a dance studio in Provo (if it's legal to do so).
The venue that is used for Salsa Chocolate is so awesome.
Word. And that studio place on center st wasn't bad... I liked the floor... just the band sucked. ,...and sucked hard.
You've been around a while Cali, why don't you do it?
Though brokering time with an existing studio is likely preferrable when you don't have the demand to pay the bills. Property in Provo is rediculously expensive, and many students lack the time or means to run off to a studio.

Why would everything have to be run by students?
I didn't say it would have to be run by students, I'm just saying not all students have the time, money, and or tranportation to run off to a studio in SLC, or even Springville or west Provo to benefit from a studio.
Is Cali a student? I though he was gainfully employed.

Where did you hear a time frame? I know they won't do it before the GBH alumni building is done, but I never heard how far off it was. No time like the present to let planning committee's know our needs too.

Mostly from rumors while I was still working at the BNSN. I know that Computer/Electrical Engineering will be in there after it's built.

Hmm... from my point of view, a swing dance night at a club in town could be very successful. Country night and Salsa nights are crazy successful, despite it being summer and the country night costing way to much. If promoted right, with the right teachers teaching, and super awesome djs, it could be a great success.
Yeah... Good luck with that one guys... It would be cool to see it happen... But clubs have too many requirements and hoopla that you have to abide by... I will be rooting for you
if we did something off campus it would have to be not affiliated with byu in any way. that;s the problem. the good thing is there are quite a few dance studios in the provo/orem area. we would just have to find one we think works and work out a price we could afford. of course this means the dancers would have to pay more to dance ($15 a semester might not do it). but if we have 2 to3 years, we have time to find the perfect venue.
lindysnob:the good thing is there are quite a few dance studios in the provo/orem area.
Actually, the irony is that in spite of the huge dance programs at BYU, there are virtually no dance studios in Provo... hence my prior sarcastic post. Orem has Center Stage though, and I can't deny that it's an awesome studio (and aside from that, Orem just has a bunch of worthless ballet studios for little kids ages 2 and under).
But still, for being such a well-known dance "Mecca", it is intriguing that Provo is so lacking in dance facilities (outside of BYU). It's probably because of the dance laws here. I'll bet it's easier to obtain an adult entertainment or liquor license here than a permit for a dance establishment. Ah, the joys of Provo...
What are the dance laws like?
they're LAME, that's what.
from what i remember, you have to have a permit if you want to have a dance somewhere that's not a school or a church, and you have to have security there, along with stuff like metal detectors, and it probably just gets lamer and lamer. back when the law was new (2000-2001) there were stories of police breaking up student parties that "had the potential" to be a dance (music playing + large groups of youngsters (could) = dancing! (gasp!)
but i thought they weren't enforcing it too much anymore?
Hmmm... Salsa Chocolate didn't have any obvious security and definitely didn't have metal detectors. They did have really good chocolate fountains though. [Emoticon not found]
i think they've definately calmed down in the past few years. club omni closed somewhat because of the dance ordinance (i think). right after the law was passed, they were really gung-ho about enforcing it, but it doesn't seem to be as big of a deal now. i've been looking for articles about it, but i'm lazy and quit looking after about five minutes.
SpecialK:Incidentally, aren't we required to have a faculty adviser?
We have an advisor as far as I know it's still David Nelson in the School of Marriage, Family and Human Development
