How Green Space got its name
Our beautiful studio has been a landmark of Denton for decades. In 2002, professional dancer/choreographer/teacher Karen MacIntyre returned to her hometown of Denton and purchased the building, originally constructed in 1970 by Denton dance legend, Eleanor Green, who Karen studied with from 1960-1973. The name Green Space is both a tribute to Miss Green and an artistic statement about the nature of the environment Karen wishes to provide for the community.
