Our spaces

Five studios, one home

At Shoonya Dance Centre, we have dedicated ourselves to creating exceptional studios that prioritize the well-being of our dance community. With great attention to detail, we have crafted these spaces to meet the highest standards.

To maintain this level of excellence, we have chosen not to rent out our studios to outside individuals or organizations on an hourly or weekly basis. If you wish to utilize our space, we believe in the power of collaboration — we carefully evaluate each project to ensure it aligns with our mission, goals, and benefits our existing dance community.

We also have a dormitory space available for up to 10 dancers, equipped with a kitchen, showers, and toilets — primarily reserved for our own projects and artistic residencies.
