Another to victim to “progress” on Capitol Hill in Seattle. The Stranger SLOG reports that Velocity Dance Center must move from the Oddfellows Hall by July of this year:
Velocity is one of the prettiest theaters—one of the prettiest anythings—in Seattle, with its gleaming blonde wood floorboards, frieze of roaring lions, ceilings so high they make a person dizzy, and, in the foyer, dark wood tables and benches that look like they were carved and pieced together by someone long ago, maybe on the beach of a tropical island, and floated over to Seattle in the hold of a tall ship.
Oddfellows Hall is also home to Century Ballroom which hosts OutDancing: classic ballroom, swing, salsa, and tango dancing and lessons for the LGBT community, every 3rd & 4th Friday of the month.
