It?s not exactly a baseball diamond in the middle of an Iowa cornfield, but there?s definitely an “if you build it, they will come” mystique to The Promenade DanceSport facility, located at 2605 Lord Baltimore Drive in Baltimore. Just ask owner Cindy Sumida, who runs the 5,000-square-foot dance emporium with her husband, Ed Timmerman.

“I started dancing myself about 10 years ago. I was going to a dance facility in Silver Spring three nights a week, and people were saying, ?We need a place like this in Baltimore,?” Sumida said.
