Start your search for a rehearsal space among South Melbourne streets near the Docklands or South Yarra. If this location is too difficult to access, consider heading south to the neighbourhood near Richmond for several great options. You may also find some excellent rehearsal spaces nearby, just south of the Melbourne Zoo. On the other side of the park, check out the spaces in Coburg and Thomastown that are focused on music rehearsal. If you would prefer to stay in the suburbs, explore options in Carrum Downs or away from the beach towards Rowville or Ravenhall. 

When choosing a rehearsal studio, you may find that the included equipment will vary quite a bit depending on the type of space you have chosen. A music rehearsal space should be soundproofed and may consist of instruments, amps or cables, or at least have some that can be hired for a small fee. A performance rehearsal space such as a dance studio or blank canvas space, may provide some furniture or basic fit-out and should have a built-in sound system. If you expect a large group to attend, you may want to seek a studio that offers on-site parking for convenience.

If you are interested in small dance studios for your individual rehearsals, you can check out Studio 2 at CODE Oakleigh, the calisthenics studio in Bentleigh, and Rain & Lucky in Fairfield.
