Much easier than the Greek Church. Springstep is directly off I-93 in Medford, Exit 32. It is the first building on the west side of the underpass/rotary. Detailed Directions » Springstep is a fantastic venue, designed in 2003 as a non-profit "top" dance center, outfitted with the best sprung wood floors, perfect acoustics, award winning architectural elegance, and many other ammenities. It's also professionally managed, so I can assure everyone the floors are pristine and the AC is just right. It's right off of I-93/exit 32.
