In order for this to work properly, we all need to create topics so that our characters interact. Where do our characters interact, you might ask? It's easy. Everywhere. There are several places on and off campus where our characters could meet and chat. Here are those locations.
The school is a ten story building (with performance auditorium nearby) in the suburb of a rather large city. Students may only go out of town on the weekends (there is a train station nearby), but may go into the surrounding suburban town anytime.
On Campus.
1. The Studios.
Five large studios (301, 302, 303, 304, and 305), five medium studios (201, 202, 203, 204, and 205), and five smaller studios (101, 102, 103, 104, and 105), as well as several small practice rooms (A-E) for solo rehearsal make up the first floor or the Academy. Students have class, private instruction, and solo rehearsal (on their own time, of course), in these rooms. Of course, you must enter the lobby before entering the studios.
Notice: For warm up and barre, students may wear warm-up gear. For actual class, female students must wear black leotards and pink tights. Male students must wear a white shirt and black leggings.
2. The Classrooms.
Of course, like normal high schools and colleges, you can't just attend dance without taking regular courses in math, science, history, and all that jazz *jazz hands*. One floor above the studios, the classrooms are where the mind gets it's exercise.
3. The Offices.
The third floor of the building contains the offices. Admissions, Networking, Student Files, and on site Physicians offices are contained on this floor. If you're here, it means you're in trouble, being admitted, filling out paper work, or you've been injured (dun dun dun). Students caught on this floor without a pass from a staff member will immediatly be punished. The elevator doors will not open on this floor after 7 pm without a special passcode.
4-5. The Library.
The library is right above the offices, and actually takes up two floors. Students can access the internet from here, as well as study for exams and catch up on the latest novel. The library is open 24 hours, but also has a 24 hour quiet policy in effect.
6-10. The Dorms.
The next four floors are dedicated to student housing. Each floor is split up by gender (floor 6 is all boy, floor 7 is all girl, etc). The rooms are doubles, and each floor has a lounge area where students can relax with fellow students. Boys are allowed on the girl floors and vice-versa, but not before 9 am and not after 9 pm. Under no circumstances are boys to go into a girls room, or girls into boys rooms. If caught, immediate susspension and/or expulsion could occur (so be sneaky if you don't want the RA to catch you). No student is allowed to leave the building after 10 pm (this is also when lights out occurs), but they may go to the library or the practice rooms.
Performance Auditorium.
Several performances take place during the year, all leading up to the End of the Year concert, where all classes perform, and the graduating seniors get their chance to shine solo. Though not attached to the rest of the academy, it's only a stone's throw away and the walk over is lovely.
Cafeteria.
Students have the option of eating all three meals here, or going across town to get lunch.
Off Campus.
Applause! Dance Supply Store.
The dance supply store is just across the street from the school, and is well stocked with anything a dancer might need.
Championship Vinyl: Media Store.
What started out as a local record shop exploded into a media outlet for even the most serious of music geeks.
Cafe Momus.
A tiny internet coffee shop with the best iced coffees around.
Pas de Deux.
Since dancers are so popular in this area, one local restaurant owner decided to capitalize on the idea of catering to dancers. Aided with trusty cookbooks and diet books made for dancers, he opened a restaurent that not only offers healthy solutions to avid dancers, but also a wonderful environment for everyone, dancer or no.
Joan C. Edwards Memorial Train Station.
