The DanceLife Retreat Center is the fulfillment of Rhee Gold’s dream to bring dance educators together to share the passion for dance in an intimate setting. It will be a 6,500-square foot log-and-stone residence nestled in five acres of New England pines, surrounded by lush gardens to create an atmosphere of total relaxation. The heart of the center will be a great room with soaring, beamed ceilings and massive stone fireplaces, leading into a full kitchen, freshly decorated with a rustic flair. The 26-foot-by-56-foot studio/meeting space will accommodate seminars and classes.
