Dancehouse

Dancehouse is a dance centre at 10 Oxford Road, Manchester, England. The building which now houses the Dancehouse Theatre, on Oxford Road, Manchester, was originally designed by Pendleton and Dickson for the property developer Emmanuel Nove, a Ukrainian who came to the city in the late 19th century. The building was built in 1929-30 originally containing two large meeting halls over a parade of shops. It is clad in cream faience with orange faience detailing. Nove’s initials may be seen set on the central pediment.nLocal band Elbow filmed the video to “Newborn” here. The theatre was supposed to be underwater so all extras were asked to wear blue.
