Music and Dance
The Music and Dance (MD) building, the largest in the Arts Village at 32,549 square feet, houses various amenities, including classrooms and labs for music, private practice rooms, a music library, two dance studios, and instructional support spaces, as well as staff offices.
One cannot overlook the outstanding architectural elements incorporated into these new facilities. A standout feature is the cutting-edge acoustical treatment employed throughout the music and dance practice and rehearsal spaces. This not only enhances the acoustic qualities within each individual room but also ensures sound isolation between the various chambers.
Irvine Valley College is also proud to announce its prestigious recognition as an All-Steinway School, with 32 Steinway pianos across the college, including 18 grand pianos and 14 uprights. This includes 19 new Steinway pianos, comprising 12 Steinway & sons grand pianos and seven uprights. The All-Steinway School distinction signifies IVC's unwavering dedication to musical excellence, exclusively utilizing Steinway & Sons pianos in teaching, practice, and performance spaces.
