INTRODUCTION

DANCE INSTITUTE IS A PLACE WHERE ONE

IS TAUGHT DANCE IN A PROFESSIONAL

LEVEL.

EACH DANCE INSITITUTE DIFFERS FROM

ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF

DANCE STYLE BEING TAUGHT.

DANCE IS FUN FILLED ENERGETIC FORM OF

SPORT/EXERCISE.

LITERATURE STUDY



THE ROYAL BALLET SCHOOL

The Royal Ballet School is one of the world's greatest centres of classical

ballet training.

The school is based over two sites, White Lodge, Richmond Park (for

students aged 11–16) and Covent Garden (for students from 16–19 years

old) based in purpose-built studios on Floral Street, adjacent to the Royal

Opera House.

In January 2003, The Royal Ballet School's older students (aged 16–19)

moved to a newly constructed studio complex in Floral Street, adjacent to

the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, where The Royal Ballet remains

the resident ballet company. A bridge was constructed between the school

and the Opera House, linking the school with the theatre and The Royal

Ballet Company's own studios. The designer of the bridge received an

architectural award[6] and it is known as the Bridge of Aspiration.

Bridge of Aspiration linking the Royal Ballet Upper School on the left with

the Royal Opera House, designed by Flint & Neill andBuro

Happold with Wilkinson Eyre Architects

The school relocated to new, purpose built premises in Covent Garden in

January 2003.

The complex is a four-storey building

Six dance studios

Studio theatre with retractable raked seating for an audience of 200.

Changing rooms and showers for male and female students,

A gym and fitness room,

A Pilates studio,

Physiotherapy suite and

Students common room.

Four classrooms,

A library with computer equipment

An art studio and audiovisual suite.

All the dance studios are linked to the audiovisual suite so that classes and

rehearsals can be filmed as a training tool, enabling the dancers to analyze

themselves.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covent_Garden

Ceiling heights are 4m+

Wall barres provided in all the studios

Flooring is sprung floor.

More of natural light is used

Heating and air conditioning

The largest, The Linden Studio, a massive 20m x 15m space with

seating for all 200 delegates and the smallest being over 14m x

13m in size!

STUDIOS



FLOORINGSUITABLE DANCE FLOORS NEEDS Not be too hard – cause sprains

nor too soft – tiredness and muscle fatigue.

Be sprung or semi sprung to absorb shock.

Not be too noisy in use unless for percussive dance.

Have appropriate traction.

Absorb energy of falls and reduce injury.

Be area elastic rather than just point elastic.

Area elastic flexes over a wide area to avoid trampoline effect.

Point elastic shows deflection or gives only at the point of contact.

Classical ballet = softer surface with some traction.

Street and hip hop & ballroom = less traction.

Contemporary dance = slightly cushioned surface.

Percussive dance = harder surface that makes noise.



SPRUNG FLOOR

They are referred to as floating floors

A floating floor refers to flooring that is not mechanically

fixed in place with nails or screws. Floating floors are

normally supplied as interlocking flooring that has a

tongue and groove edge that fit together locking the floor in

place, soundproof floating floors have a resilient layer

bonded to the underside, this layer is to isolate the floor

from the buildings structure, this isolation will reduce

sound transmitting through the floor and joists into the

room below.



Absorb shock to reduce injury and give a softer feel.

Provide energy return to lift feet when dancing but not too bouncy like trampoline.

Constructed from ply or wood with foam backing or elastomers

Reduce vibration along the floors from one room to another.

Sprung floors come in a few major types Traditional wood basket-weave

Wood with high durometer neoprene pads. Sometimes both basket-weave and neoprene pads are used.

Foam rubber with a wood or other area elastic layer on top

A few sprung floors use actual springs - the special spring floors used by cheerleaders and tumblers often have coil springs under them.

ACOUSTICS The scientific study of sound, especially of its generation

,transmission, and reception. The total effect of sound, especially as produced in an enclosed space

For a dance studio acoustics plays a very important roll as echoing can cause problems in hearing things clearly.

Types of acoustical materials

ABSORBERS: An absorber is the most basic and widely used sound quality finish treatment. These products reduce reverberation and noise by absorbing sound

DIFFUSERS :Diffusers are used in music and other critical listening spaces to improve sound quality.

REFLECTORS: Reflectors are used to optimize the strength and timing of reflected sound to all audience locations



CEILING

The ceiling height must be 3.5mts to 4.5mts.

Cloudscape ceiling tiles absorb noise and block

sound transmission. These ceiling tiles are

designed to fit existing grid 2’x2’ suspended drop

tile ceiling grid systems. These tiles can be

unbacked for adhesive mounting directly to

walls or ceilings

Acoustical foam is also used for ceilings.



MATERIAL FOR CEILING AND WALLS.

Acoustical Foam Is used for walls and ceiling-Acoustic

foam is a lightweight material made from polyurethane

foam either polyether or polyester, and also

extruded melamine foam. It is usually cut into tiles.

Acoustic foam reduces or eliminates echoes and

background noises by controlling the reverberation that

sound can make by bouncing off walls.

The effectiveness of acoustic foam panels can be increased

by ensuring there is an air gap between the foam panels

and the walls.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation

LIGHTING

A balance between natural and artificial light is important

in a dance institute.

Natural light often gives a comforting feel thereby dancers

prefer natural lighting.

Large windows can be used for natural light.

More light is required in dance studios.

Artificial light can be used in the toilets , changing rooms ,

lobby and admin office.



MIRROR

Mirrors Wall mirrors greatly assist in the teaching

and practice of many movement and dance

disciplines. One long wall of the studio should be

fitted with glass mirrors along its length from near

floor level to a height of at least 2m. A second

mirrored wall at right angles is also of assistance to

enable participants to check their side view.

Alternatively, this wall may be left bare for

receiving projected images



VENTILATION AND SPACE

Enough ventilation is required - this means, as much fresh air as possible.

Dancing is a highly demanding physical activity, so dancers need as much oxygen as possible.

Other than oxygen, the smell of enclosed dancing studios becomes truly repugnant.

Big spaces: both wide and with high ceilings. The width is important for dances that move a lot in scenic space and for big groups. The height is important for dancers to practice to communicate a big image of them in space.

At least 3-5m2/participant is required.



BALLET BARRE

Height

Single barre: 32 inches to 46 inches from the floor: 42 inches is also a common placement for a single barre.

Double barre: lower 32inches to 34 inches from the floor; 42 inches to 46 inches from the floor to the upper bar.

0.914m from floor for children aged up to 14, 32mm diameter

Length

Barres over 12ft are usually awkward to move

Generally, one adult dancer will fit on every 3 ft. (1 meter) of barrespace

8 ft. barre = 2 - 4 dancers: 2 on one side and 2 on the other9 ft. barre = 3 -- 5 dancers: 3 on one side and 2 on the other12 ft barre = 4 -- 7 dancers: 4 on one side and 3 on the other15/16 ft. barre = 4 - 8 dancers: 4 on one side and 4 on the other18 ft. barre = 5 -- 9 dancers: 5 on one side and 4 on the other

Diameter

Typically the most comfortable diameter is 1.5 - 2 inches

Distance

A mounted barre should usually extend 7.5 - 9 inches from the wall



PROJECT STATEMENT

INTERESTING FOR THE PEOPLE USING IT.

IT GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO

EXPLORE MORE ABOUT ACOUSTICS,
