Leave It to Bryan Season 2 Episode 20 Dance Dance Renovation
- February 28, 2013
In this episode, Bryan takes on a unique renovation challenge in the form of a dance-loving couple's home. The couple wants to convert their dull and outdated basement into a dance studio, complete with a custom sprung dance floor and full-length mirrors.
Bryan kicks off the project by assessing the existing space and figuring out how to maximize its potential. He suggests knocking down a wall to create a sense of openness and maximize natural light, and also recommends installing soundproof insulation to keep noise from disturbing the rest of the house.
Once the plans are in place, Bryan gets to work with his team of experts to start the renovation. To create the sprung dance floor, they remove the existing carpet and install a layer of plywood topped with high-density foam and dance-specific vinyl flooring. The full-length mirrors are carefully installed along one wall, and a ballet barre is added for extra support during dance practice.
In addition to the main dance studio, the couple also wants Bryan to create a separate room for their collection of costumes and props. Bryan comes up with a clever solution by using a sliding door to divide the space and double up on storage.
Throughout the episode, Bryan faces a number of unexpected challenges, including a stubborn concrete pillar that needs to be worked around and a tight deadline due to the couple's upcoming dance competition. However, his expertise and creativity allow him to overcome these obstacles and deliver a stunning finished product that meets the couple's every need.
Overall, this episode is a delightful exploration of how home renovation can be customized to meet an individual's unique passions and hobbies. The dance studio renovation is a testament to Bryan's ability to tackle even the most niche requests with aplomb and produce stunning results.
