The former Grace Chapel in the city of Jamestown is one step closer to becoming a dance studio
The Jamestown Zoning Board of Appeals last week approved a use variance for Jaclyn Ferraro and Vicky Haskell, who want to transform the former church, located at 379 Buffalo St., into Dancing With Victoria dance studio.
Earlier this month, the board tabled the use variance petition because of some questions on whether the change from a church to a dance studio meet the four criteria points to allow for a use variance to be issued.

There has been a delay in the former Grace Chapel church possibly being changed into a dance studio.
On Wednesday, the Jamestown Zoning Board of Appeals tabled a use variance petition from Jaclyn Ferraro and Vicky Haskell to transform the former church into a dance studio.
Ferraro said her mother, Haskell, and herself run the Dancing With Victoria dance studio, which has been open since 2016. Prior to Ferraro and Haskell running the dance studio together, Haskell had operated her own dance studio for more than two decades, Ferraro said. The two are hoping to purchase the former church to have a more permanent place to operate their dance studio.
