How do I get to the dance studio?
There are two ways to get to the dance studio:
- Through the North Entrance (the more common route)
- Through the West Entrance (the shorter route)
From the North Entrance
Enter through the North Entrance across from Talley Student Union. You will be entering on the second floor of the facility. However, the second floor of the Wellness and Recreation Center does not connect to the second floor of Carmichael Gym West. You will need to take the stairs or elevator to the first floor and walk west past the locker rooms to Carmichael Gym West. Then, take those stairs or elevator up to the second level.

From the West Entrance
Enter through the Carmichael Gym West entrance, located off of Cates Avenue across from Alexander Residence Hall. You will be on the third floor of the building and will need to take the stairs or elevator down to the second level.
