Features a gym, a "dance studio" with a
hardwood floor and mirrors (for ballet, etc.), plus other
facilities with which I am unfamiliar. I understand that
some Karate groups meet here.

Located in the center of a golf course. The downstairs
back side of the rec center has the pro shop. Upstairs
has four rooms, three with oak floors over concrete or
stone. Several dance groups use Hancock (Wednesday night
contra and Scandanavian dancers, Thursday introductory
international, Fridays ballroom (?), Saturday
international), as well as painting (Wednesdays), various
exercise classes, and at least one "church"
group. I don’t have the complete schedule of events, but
Hancock stays very busy.
Hancock also has a basketball court behind the building
and parking for a few dozen cars. Hancock does luminaries
every year on a Saturday evening before Christmas.

Good facility, acceptable (tartan) floor, good kitchen,
A/C, PKG, reasonable price, moderately distant
The gym has a "soft but dancable floor."
The gym is busy with basketball (?) on Fridays, but might
be available on Saturdays.
