Our Building

Our new fully-accessible building and studios are now available for private hire.

Located just off the A127 at Rayleigh Weir the building is easy to get to as well as easy to get around.

Studio 1 - The Hollywood Studio

Equal People Performing Arts studio

Studio 1 has ballet barres and mirrors, but this doesn’t mean it can only be used for dancing. We hire this studio out for finesses class weekly, as well as our own classes and events.

Studio 1 is at the front of the building, with a windowed front onto the reception area, but blinds can be used to avoid distraction.

Measuring 8.9m x 8.2m

Studio 2 - James Beckwith Studio

Equal People Performing Arts studio

Studio 2 is an open canvas for you to use as creatively as needed. In addition to classes and rehearsals, this space is regularly used for training, meetings, parties and a social club. It’s a perfect space for team building, private tuition or rehearsals, workshops, parties, and more.

Studio 2 is behind Studio 1, accessed via the corridor, providing a quieter space away from reception. The rear corridor provides a break-out area.

Measuring 8.9m x 10.1m

Studio 3 - The Sir Ian McKellan Studio
