Rate A: Schools, universities and commercial organisations who wish to hire space for, e.g. workshops, rehearsals, commercial filming or photography, private parties, team building events, meetings, conferences and awaydays – and charities / businesses with a turnover of more than £250k per annum.
Rate B: Artists and organisations in receipt of public or private funding via project or other grants, that wish to hire space for, e.g. regular classes, workshops, rehearsals, development and meetings - and charities/ businesses with a turnover of less than £250k per annum.

If you are unsure which rate applies to your organisation or activity, please contact studios@southeastdance.org.uk to discuss.
Please Note: We are mindful of the constantly changing situation regarding public safety in times of Covid-19 and are ensuring we are always up to date with government guidance. In consultation with other venue-based dance and arts organisations, we are working on various models for safe and successful building and programme operations, should social distancing or other Covid-safety measures be necessary in future. In light of this we may need to make adjustments to our rates going forward.
