Sydney Dance Company's recently refurbished Wharf Studios is home to a variety of dynamic waterfront spaces ideal for creative, social and business-related events.

We have five incredible Studios, ranging in size, suitable for rehearsals, auditions, filming and photography. These spaces can be modified to host corporate events such as meetings, product launches and cocktail receptions, as well as private events including weddings and birthday parties. Each Studio is equipped with sprung floors, mirrors and a sound system.

The Sydney Dance Company Foyer is a large open space with waterfront views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Situated in close proximity to the kitchen, box office and bathrooms, the Foyer can be configured for a standing cocktail function or a banquet-style event.

Our Foyer can be hired in conjunction with one of our other Studio spaces or by itself. The Foyer is suitable for a variety of activities and events including pre and post-performance events, parties, dinners, launches and more.

Complete with state-of-the-art technology and retractable seating, the new Studio 5: Neilson Studio overlooks Sydney Harbour Bridge and offers an ideal space for dance or theatre performances, conferences, receptions and special events. Guests are able to access the outdoor waterfront apron and the Clegg Foyer and Bar.
