All renters must check in with a staff member at the 5th floor Front Desk on arrival at LINES Dance Center prior to proceeding to a rented space.
All renters must provide complete contact information—legal name, address, phone numbers, and email address.
Renters must affirm that they are not currently ill or experiencing any symptoms of illness, including:
- Fever, chills, or repeated shaking/shivering

Renters must adhere to studio occupancy limits as set forth by LINES Dance Center.
All studios are equipped with a sound system for renters’ use. If the volume level interrupts other building activity or puts speakers at risk, you will be asked to lower the volume.
LINES staff will provide a 10-minute warning before the building closes. Please respect building closing times by promptly vacating the studio by the end of your rental period. Additional time used after the official end of a rental will be billed to the renter.
Studios must be restored to the exact condition they were in before your rental. Any equipment moved during your rental must be moved back. Any trash must be removed and disposed of in the receptacles provided.
Disinfectant wipes will be provided for each studio. Upon ending their rental and before exiting the studio, renters must wipe all items or surfaces touched within the room.
LINES Dance Center is not responsible for any personal property that may be stored or left on the premises.
Pianos may not be moved without making prior arrangements.
No food or beverages, except water in closed containers, are permitted in any studio.
Street shoes are not allowed in our dance studios.

LINES Dance Center reserves the right to remove any renter from the building if the renter is in violation of any of the LINES Studio Rental Policies.
