Studio Rental
The School of Dance provides studios for rental use to the community. Priority will be given to our own programmes, followed by other arts organizations, practising artists, artists in the early stages of their careers, arts service organizations, institutions of learning, not for profit and charitable organizations and community associations.
Private rentals are available only when our programming priorities have been accommodated. Studios can be booked and rental permits obtained at the main office during our operating hours (7 am to 9 pm Monday to Friday).
The rates are:
Category 1: Artists/arts organizations
Category 2: Not-for-profit/registered charity/community organizations
Category 3: General public or private organizations
