Hi Alicia — a bit late in responding, sorry. I know the middle school on Washington Street, and someone who also lived there. I believe it is the place where kids play soccer out on the field. I am always happy that abandoned schools are put to good use. In Newton, back in the late 80′s, it was important to Mayor Mann to have these buildings go for housing.

I was raised in Newton and never heard of these! Really nice. I used to live in a converted middle school on Washington Street, we had similarly tall ceilings which let in so much light, as seen here.

One more thing: this space will never be a dance studio as long as I’m alive. It would be very hard for me to relinquish the place, which has become so much a part of me. It was great to hear from Camille — I’m glad you remembered my pictures — and a warm hello to RISD alum Amanda.

Thank you all for your kind words on my studio. Stella, re the gym doors, I have incorporated them into the unit. They serve as the entryway from my smaller drawing studio (under the loft) to my larger studio (the gym). As for the NordikTrack, it’s great for hanging my coat. (I go to the gym).

OMG I remember I used to always daydream as a kid; “What if I had to live in my school?” and here’s the answer! Gorgeous!
