Dance studio hire
State-of-the-art studios to hire in London
The spacious and well-equipped dance studios at our headquarters in Battersea, London, are available to hire for your next event.
Dance studios can be used to warm up for the main event in the theatre, as well as being hired on their own for auditions, rehearsals and classes. When you hire our dance studios, you can also use our other facilities, including our main reception, changing rooms, and green rooms. You will also have access to changing areas with toilet, shower and mirror facilities.
Contact us for more information and dance studio hire fees. Learn more about accessing our headquarters here.
Dance Studios
We have seven different dance studios available for hire. You can see the names and images for each below. Some of our large dance studios can be divided into two smaller spaces.
Outside each dance studio entrance, you will find a rack to put your outdoor shoes on. Inside each dance studio, you will find everything a dance class might need to use. This includes a mirrored wall, ballet barres, a piano, and a music system. We also have cupboards where we can store some of this equipment. There are Pilates and yoga mats in the cupboards. There are also touchscreen TVs that can be used in some lessons to display images and video clips to help show you what to do.
