Dance Center of Columbia College

There are trade-offs at every venue. Big, expensive places like the Harris and the Auditorium have grandeur and excellent technical resources, but the performance can feel far away. A shoe box like Links Hall provides intimacy but not much potential for stage effects. The Dance Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art offer the best of both worlds—but the sheer volume of expert, challenging work at the Dance Center pushes it into first place.  Dance Center of Columbia College, 1306 S.
