Special Events
Do you have a special occasion coming up but don't really have a good place to host it? We can help! I've Got Rhythm offers plenty of space for smaller business and personal events of all kinds. If you're a small business just looking for an open space to use for a luncheon, the studio is generally open during the daytime and can easily accommodate your event, even if it has nothing whatsoever to do with ballroom dancing. Or maybe you're looking for a classy yet cozy spot for a small wedding reception with a 
little dance instruction provided to entertain your guests. Guess what? You've found the perfect place! Check out the specs below to see if the studio might be an appropriate venue for your special event...
- Size: Approximately 2000 sqft., with a dancing capacity of around 100 and a seating capacity of around 200
- Space: Open center area with no obstructions and seating areas to the sides
- Kitchen Space: Small kitchen area with a fridge and medium size snack room with a fridge
- Seating: Included seating for about 60 people with tables
- Sound System: Computer and receiver hooked to speakers, mic/MP3 player ready
- Lighting: Mood lighting for parties plus overhead lights
If you need something for your event but don't see it on the list above, then we are likely unable to provide it, and you will need to make arrangments to bring it in yourself. There are no limits to what you can bring in, as long as there is no reasonable chance that it will cause damage to the studio, especially the dance floor and mirrors. Of course, all children's events at the studio must be properly supervised by adults for this reason.
The studio can be rented out in two-hour blocks. If you only need the studio for one hour, you'll pay the same as someone who uses it for two. If you need it for three, you'll need to purchase two blocks of time for up to four hours, even if you don't use the full time. During this time, there is an optional charge for dance instruction on a per-hour basis. So if you rented the studio for a four hour event but only wanted dance instruction for one hour, you would pay the fee for instruction separately and in addition to the base rental fee.

"Actually we're hosting a larger event at another location but would like one of your instructors to come teach us some steps. Does your studio do that?"
Of course we do! For events outside of the studio, there is a base travel fee which pays for an instructor's time in getting to your event. Once there, the regular hourly rates apply. Be advised though, if you are hosting an event outside the studio, you will need to be responsible for setting up a sound system and a place for everyone to dance. For small events, we can provide a small portable stereo system, but these are not powerful enough for big rooms (e.g. 100 or more people), so be sure you're covered. Dance floors need to be as smooth as possible. Carpet is acceptable, although not ideal, but rough surfaces like concrete won't do. A smooth wooden floor is preferable.
As always if you have an specific questions about your event, or if you'd like to go ahead and set something up, give us a call to confirm, and we'll book you a spot on the calendar.
