The best studios to rent in Midtown

Whether you're hosting a children's hip-hop class or rehearsing the next Tony Award-winning musical, there's room for everyone in the spotlight at Spaces@520. There are 12 studios available with amenities to accommodate all kinds of rehearsals and events. From sprung marley floors to protect ballerinas' pointe shoes to pianos for accompanying singers practicing their big solos, you can find top-of-the-line performing arts equipment at Spaces@520. Even if you’re just hosting a fundraiser, you’ll find a space that works for you.

Booking your event at this venue also helps support the Alliance of Resident Theatres. A.R.T. is a non-profit that works to keep small New York theatres afloat with funding and training programs. The largest studio space can accommodate up to 50 guests.

What better place for aspiring dancers or actors to practice their craft than at a studio with views across the Great White Way? Boasting the largest studios in New York, Open Jar Studios has 50,000 sq. ft. of rehearsal space, split into 22 rooms. From massive dance studios equipped with grand pianos to small practice rooms for vocalists, anyone can hone their star power here while picturing their big break on the iconic Broadway stages just moments away.

While Open Jar is perfect for performing arts rehearsals, these large open spaces with rare views of Times Square are ideal for special events. Imagine hosting the most incredible New Year's Eve party while watching the ball drop right outside the window. The largest studios can accommodate up to 300 guests with theater or table seating.

The cozy living room is filled with comfortable furniture and a full setup for photoshoots. Down the hall, there's a meeting room perfect for productive brainstorming.
