The Movement Research Subsidized Rehearsal Space Program provides subsidized rehearsal space to artists involved in dance or movement-related processes at a rate as low as $10 per hour. 

Building/Studio Access information will be provided via email from studio@movementresearch.org the week prior to your first booking.

Find information and studio request guidelines in our Subsidized Rehearsal Space page.

Cancellation / Refund Policy: Payments are not refundable within 7 days of the rehearsal space booking. Cancellations can only be made by emailing studio@movementresearch.org, with the specific rehearsal date(s) and times that are being canceled.

Movement Research’s Subsidized Rehearsal Space Program is supported by Dance/NYC’s New York City Dance Rehearsal Space Subsidy Program, made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and the Mertz Gilmore Foundation.

Please Note: Movement Research is currently only offering the Subsidized Rehearsal Space Program to the public. Under this program, artists may book subsidized studio space for $10/hr for artist rehearsals only.

Prior to the pandemic, Movement Research had a separate rate for other studio usages (including classes, workshops, auditions, photo-shoots and filming). We look forward to being able to offer our spaces for these events again, but we cannot accommodate these additional studio uses at this time.
