Space Usage

• Space users are asked to leave five minutes at the end of their booking to ensure the space is left in a tidy fashion for the next user.
• We cannot accommodate any hard-soled or heeled shoes in either of our studios. This includes tap, flamenco and ballroom footwear.
• Neither studio has mirrors. Images of our studios can be seen here.
• No changes may be made to the studios without permission from CDS staff. Any damages to the studios will be charged to the client.
• We cannot accommodate aerial equipment, poles or any prop that needs affixing to the floor or ceiling.
• If users of the space are disruptive, antisocial or disrespectful, Chisenhale reserves the right to ask any participants to leave without refund, and may refuse to accommodate future bookings.
• Space users for rehearsals or workshops must not exceed maximum numbers in the Performance Studio (30) or Research Studio (12). Please speak to CDS staff to discuss any alterations.

COVID-19 Update: 

CDS will be suspending its current Space Hire Booking & Cancellation Policy as of Wednesday 18th March, due to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on users being able to safely access our spaces.

We are offering a full refund to all space hire users who have booked the Research or Performance Studio up until Sunday 14th June 2020 and waiving our 10% cancellation charge.

We’re entering uncertain times without precedent, and the financial impact on Chisenhale Dance Space as a small charity is going to be drastic. We urge anyone who can afford it to donate any of their space hire cost, to support CDS and the fees to the independent artists who deliver these programmes.

Please contact Jessica, Operations and Education Manager at manager@chisenhaledancespace.co.uk if you would like to reschedule your booking or request a refund. We are accepting expressions of interest for future bookings via email. If you’re planning a project, penciling dates is a great way to support us during this time.
