The newly opened Dance Center at Interlochen Center for the Arts. On Feb. 23, Arts Academy dancers made Interlochen history as the first students to pirouette, plié, and soar through the air in the newly opened Dance Center at Interlochen Center for the Arts. The 25,905 square-foot lakeside facility ushers in a new era for the future of dance at Interlochen. With spacious, light-filled studios overlooking Green Lake and enhanced technology to support teaching and virtual master classes, the Dance Center rivals the facilities of professional dance companies. It combines Interlochen’s Hildegarde Lewis Dance Building with a 16,280 square-foot addition designed by the Boston-based architecture firm Flansburgh Architects, who recently completed the Perles Family Studio at Jacob’s Pillow Dance.
