Directions
Urbanity has three locations: Urbanity Headquarters, Urbanity Balance, and Urbanity Central. All three studios are a 12 minute walking distance, 3 minute driving distance apart in Boston's South End.
Urbanity Central (Ext. 3)
725 Harrison Ave.
Unit 100
Boston, MA 02118
(Enter through the Gallery entrance on the left, not the apartment building entrance)
Urbanity Headquarters (UDHQ) (Ext. 1)
1180 Washington Street
Unit 100
Boston, MA 02118
Balance at Urbanity Dance (Ext. 2)
111 West Concord Street
(Entrance in Rear)
Boston, MA 02118
The Balance studio is at the rear entrance of 111 W. Concord street--if you're standing on West Concord street facing the front of 111 W. Concord, go right down West Concord; take a left onto Newland Street (which is more of an alley), and you'll see a purple playground on your right; take a left into the parking lot, and Balance will be the second basement level entrance on your left, past the Rutland Housing Associates entrance.
Please note Balance is not a handicap accessible space as there are stairs to go down to get to the door. If you're bringing a stroller, we suggest bringing a lock to lock your stroller to the railing at the top of the stairs; the waiting area inside Balance is very small, so stroller parking space inside is limited!

Urbanity Dance patrons, parents, & students may not park behind the Balance studio. Metered parking is available on Washington, Harrison, and Tremont Street. City of Boston South End two-hour visitor spots are marked as such and can be found on Shawmut Ave and some of the cross streets. The closest parking garages are at Boston Medical Center, off Harrison Avenue.
