The CDT Studio is at 1 Kingsley Street, on the corner of Barry Drive and Kingsley Street in Canberra City. The studio is available for hire outside of our class times for individual or small group practice; or for your own classes with competitive rates according to use.

Please direct hire all studio hire enquiries to office.canberradancetheatre@gmail.com
In your enquiry, please detail the proposed:

  • time and duration for studio hire
  • type of activity, either:
    • Private Practice Hire for your own practice, rehearsals or creative development.
    • Teaching and Event Hire to run classes, workshops or events for attendees who will pay to attend.

About the Studio

The Studio was completed in 2012 as part of the City West development. It features a professional Harlequin Liberty sprung ballet floor – the best dance floor available and the same floor used by world-renowned dance companies such as the Bolshoi Ballet.

To maintain the condition of the floor, CDT prohibits street shoes, percussive dance (e.g. tap) and high heels in our Studio.

Studio availability

CDT events and classes take priority, so please confirm and book any studio availability with the CDT office staff well before your activities or you may be disappointed. CDT reserves the right to review regular hires, and adjust hire times to suit CDT workshops in consultation with hirers.

The Studio set up as a performance space.
