This is the first studio when you enter the building. It's 40'x60' and seats about 150. It has hardwood floors, a stereo, a 6'x40' mirror (with curtain to close over it), a long ledge, tables and chairs, remote control party lights (and mirrorball).
This is the room that shows happen in, and is where we can have live drumming and live music.

A wonderful new addition to this space is the Mariposa Patio located behind the studio, which offers optional additional outdoor space for your event in the Jade Studio.
This is a fantastic 40'x40' space with hardwood floors, 6'x40' mirror, stereo, TV, tables, chairs, remote control party lights and a lobby that may be used as a dressing room for shows in the Jade studio and for parties, too. No loud drums in this room!
