Rent the Studio

In addition to our own core program of vintage swing dances, RVA Swing will be making our spare studio available to professional yoga and dance instructors who need a consistent, affordable venue to hold their own independently run classes.  Discounted studio rates will also be available for rehearsals and other non-commercial uses.

Our studio rental rates:

Group class rental rates
These rates apply to any class or event for which the instructor charges a set fee.

Group class rate include use of the space, as well as a basic listing on this site, if desired. Renters will handle all their own promotion, student registration, and payment processing, and keep all monies earned from their classes.

"Prime Time" group class rentals are $30 per hour
This rate applies to rentals between 5pm and 9pm on Monday - Friday, and all day on Saturdays.

"Off-Hours" group class rentals are $20 per hour
This rate applies to rentals between 6am and 5pm or after 9pm on Monday - Friday, and all day on Sundays


Private & Non-profit rental rates
These rates apply to rehearsals, practice groups, free community events, donation-based events, and private lessons 

Private/Non-Profit rentals are $15 per hour
This rate applies to all non-profit & private rentals, regardless of time of day.
