nite It wasnt the venues first step into the alternative independent music scene. The Dance Hall was also host to Vermonts Mountain Man, a trio of female folk musi- cians who performed at this summers Newport Folk Festival and have toured with The Decemberists. Overton was enthusiastic to have the trio perform and said she hopes to bring more acts like them to The Dance Hall and to Kittery. For many years, Overton thought that the SRT would operate the space indefinite- ly. Over the next decade she watched as the building fell into disrepair. What a waste, Overton recalled. Eventually Overton had to move on. She worked primarily in Boston, often traveling by train. A year ago, Overton was riding her bike through town and saw a for sale sign on the building. I saw the for sale sign and thought, OK, this has to happen. Its an opportunity and I cant miss it, she said. Overton said it was a struggle to get the financing to open the space in the way she intended for it to be used. She turned to Port- lands Womens Business Plan for help. But with the economic downturn money was hard to come by. Because she tried, she said it was easier to let the idea go. A longtime friend encouraged Overton to open the space as a non-profit and even assisted in the purchase of the building. The Dance Hall now operates as a 501(c)3. Cur- rently Overton operates the building on her own with the help of volunteers, and she encourages more to come and volunteer at the space. The Dance Hall opened this spring. Its hard because I still have to work to earn a living, Overton said. I think it The Dance Hall has incredible potential, and the response from the community has been real- ly good. It just takes time to build this kind of thing. Overton said she is trying to add The Dance Hall building to the National Register of Historic Places. She said people who have grown up and spent a majority of their lives in Kittery come into the space and are awed by the work that has been done to make the space a lively spot for the community once again. This building does have a life. You can feel it and when theres live performance in here its like this is what it was built for. This is what it was meant for, she said.
