Accessing the Studio
The studio is located in a co-op building that limits the number of keys for building access per co-op shareholder. Movement Research leases Eden’s from one of the co-op shareholders. The rental schedule reflects this situation with the majority of space renters scheduled such that they immediately follow each other, i.e. linked directly to one another. The expectation is that we rely on each other and the dance community to support this system of access. Movement Research asks your cooperation in helping this system run smoothly for both our community and for the valued space.

(Arrival) Renters are expected to arrive at least 10 minutes early in order to be buzzed into the building by the previous renter. Those arriving for a group rehearsal should be mindful of the rehearsal/class/workshop in progress. The choreographer should buzz only one time to gain entry into the main building, and make sure that someone remains in the vestiblule to let the other dancers in. If you do not arrive in time to be let in by the previous renter you will lose access to the studio, and you will still be billed for your time in the space.

(Departure) If there is a rehearsal scheduled after your rental period you will become the link for the next renter and buzz them in. With this in mind we ask that you kindly stay up to 10 minutes past your scheduled time to allow for overlap. If there is nothing scheduled immediately after your time you will close the door behind you so that it automatically locks. Double check that the windows are closed, the lights and equipment is turned off, and door is completely closed and locked.
