Accessing the Studio
The rental schedule generally has 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. PMC asks your cooperation in helping this system run smoothly for both our community and for the valued space.
(Arrival) Sunday Renters are expected to arrive 5 minutes early in order to be let into the building by the previous renter. It is your responsibility that someone remains in the vestibule 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) On Sunday, 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. Double check that the windows are closed, the lights and equipment is turned off, and door is completely closed and locked.
