OHHHH, YES! Every Mad Scientist needs a secret underground lair! We are no exception! Except that our lair is actually above ground, and the  experiments we run consist of mixing up crazy dance motion potions. 

We have a NEW Location:

313 2nd St. SE, Suite 108

Charlottesville, VA

Boasting 1,000 square feet of wooden dance floor, we are excited to start hosting lab events at this space.

Where is it exactly?

The studio is located inside The Glass Building, which is home to the X-Lounge and Bluegrass Grill in Charlottesville's Warehouse District beside the downtown mall.  Just go inside the main entrance of the building and go down the hallway until you reach suite 108 -- you'll most likely hear the music!

Parking:

After hours (past 6.30pm) you may park in the back of the glass building, in spots marked "Doctor's office". Usually, there is plenty of street parking available after hours also. The downtown parking garage is another alternative, just a few steps away.

Please do NOT park in the front of the glass building, since these parking spots are reserved 24/7. Your car will get towed.
