We always want to provide a place for students to practice their dancing after class. For most venue partner installations, that is the main dance floor of the venue. In standalone installations, we install a dance floor with a wide variety of dances and a STREAMS radio for the dancers to choose their music. Barbie Alchemi's Gardens Park creates a wonderland of nature to explore and enjoy. Its Dance Plaza is a gorgeous platform for dance practice at our LEA1 Exhibit. Temporal Square provides a sidestep into the 50's and 60's, on the way to Swing City from Gardens Park.
From the Gardens Park creator, Barbie Alchemi:
"I have been working with 2LDance.org this past year as the first Dance 101 class has taken shape. I jumped at the chance to help the team build out the LEA1 Grant SIM to showcase this exciting development in the world of SL dance. I was able to stretch my interest in landscaping to the limit as I designed and built Gardens Park, and its Dance Plaza, as a beautiful place to practice the dance skills learned in class. As founder of Creations for Parkinson's and owner of Creations Park, I am proud of the 2LDance.org mission goal to extend the dancing experience in SL not only to residents who are fully mobile in RL, but to those who are mobility-assisted in RL as well. It has been an honor and inspiration to work with the talented team members on this high quality project."
