Had a look round the old Dance Academy with Dreamweaver, if you have ever driven through Plymouth you will have probably seen the building. Very big place, stands out.

Heres some photos:

It would have been really nice when open, I'm surprised on-one's taken that Concorde model.

I doubt very much you will get a response!

1) You're a noob & this is your first post
2) I don't think anyone on the site knows you (People are wary of strangers on here)
3) We don't mention access points on this site

I have to admit that the words 'Dance Academy' didn't really enthral me to look at this thread, but I'm very glad I did! Beautiful interiors, and great shots. Cheers chase.

its a great building and a shame nothing is happening with it after the club closed down.
nice pics, captures atmosphere.

Mother · Apr 2, 2010

I frequented it on many occation in the 80's and was the best club in Plymouth.. Graet lazer set up.
Yep I'm an old git!
The owner is away at Her Majesty's pleasure at the mo and will be so for many a year to come...Shame for a Grade 1 listed building to go to such a waste.

bobskool · Apr 2, 2010

just not the same

great pics, but the atmosphere has gone. please photoshop several hundred sweaty semi-naked gurning people into them!

poshchick · Apr 16, 2010

I have been here, one of the best nights out of my life and so sad that it's closed down, but thanks for the memories!

Teleportation

This place look grand! Was it a theatre originally?

0james0 · May 6, 2010

It used to be a theatre long ago, but most will remember it soley for the clubbing. The colleseum style made it a great venue, with huge floors all overlooking the central dancefloor.

I actually had a dream the other night that I re-opened it! Hence coming on here to see if anyone had gone back in.

If you do get back in, the place is huge even at ground level, tunnells shooting off to the sides. Was a maze when at capacity. That and the fact I couldn't see staright! :mrgreen:

Wow what a fantastic find! I used to go to the Dance Academy when i was at University in Plymouth! So nostalgic to see it now without the lights and people with huge pupils.
Top marks for getting in. I bet it's like a fortress!
A club on the opposite side of Union street (Millennium) closed down some years ago. If it is still empty it would certainly be worth a look...
