Owner urges approval as Code Red Dance seeks conditional-use permit on Manchester Road
Summary
During a May 4 public hearing, Rhett Williams, owner of Code Red Dance Company, asked the board to approve a conditional-use permit for an enclosed recreational dance studio at 8516'8518 Manchester Road; the item had a first reading and the board will vote May 18.
Rhett Williams, owner of Code Red Dance Company, told the Brentwood Board of Aldermen at a May 4 public hearing that his commercial hip-hop studio has outgrown its University City location and is seeking a larger space at 8516'8518 Manchester Road in Brentwood.
Williams described his studio's student range (ages 5 to adult) and said several dancers from his company have moved on to professional opportunities with high-profile artists. "We just outgrown the space, and we're just looking for a bigger space to house the studio and our company," he said.
City staff framed the request as an application for a site development plan and a conditional-use permit (Bill 6608) to allow an enclosed recreational dance-studio use in the MC Manchester Corridor commercial district. Staff noted the proposed location occupies former tenant spaces that include a vacant fitness facility within the shopping center (address listed on the agenda as 8500 Manchester Road).
The ordinance received a first reading; the board will take a final vote on Bill 6608 at its May 18 meeting.
Why it matters: The permit would allow a destination commercial dance operation to relocate into a Brentwood shopping center, potentially bringing new customers to nearby businesses while changing the tenant mix of the property.
What's next: The board scheduled a vote on the item for May 18, 2026.
