    • To enter THE WOODS, you are given a code for the lockbox. The code arrives in your confirmation email from Skedda, our booking system, at the time of making the booking. If you fail to remember the code and cannot enter the space, THE WOODS is not responsible. Do not share this code. Contact (thewoodsuniverse@gmail.com) 24 hours prior to your booking if you cannot locate the code in your inbox. Please be mindful not to speak the code out loud when standing in front of the building. Also keep in mind that THE CODE WILL CHANGE PERIODICALLY - always refer to your most recent rental reminder or confirmation to find the up to date code.*
    • In order to ensure continued access to the studio we depend upon your awareness of quiet levels for classes or rehearsals happening between 7-11am and 8-11pm. Show respect for the residents surrounding The Woods by keeping your noise within the studio walls. Please do not hold meetings at the entrance.*
    • There is an Air Purifier that cleans the air every 1/2 hour. It must be on during and in between bookings, but go off overnight. First renter of the day must turn on, last renter must turn off. Refer to The Woods Calendar to find out.*
    • To best take care of the floors, please pay attention to the following: - No shoes beyond the column space.  - Leave your shoes by the rugs near the door - THE FLOOR IS NOT SUITABLE FOR HARD SHOES like flamenco, folkloric, point or tap shoes. - There is a portable 6x6 feet wood floor for hard shoe practice. Please notify The Woods if you will be needing this floor so we can help you locate it and use it.*
    • CLEANUP PROTOCOLS: Please clean up for the next renter. 1.) Put everything back as you found it. 2.) Pass dry mop over floors and shake outside door in the street. 3.) Take all your garbage outside with you. Whatever you bring into the space you should take out with you when you leave, including emptying the small trash bins. Dispose of your garbage in garbage bins outside of the main entrance to the rest of the building located at 1826 Palmetto.*
    • Please check all the boxes:
    • 5. Waiver of liability and hold harmless (THE WOODS) 
    • 6. Membership (THE WOODS) *Optional 
    • The Woods strives to remain one of the most affordable rehearsal and performance spaces in NYC, and we want to be able to meet you where you are financially. For that reason we have created different price tiers. Please refer to the 'Green Bottle' image below to help identify which tier best suits your financial situation. 

      We ask that you consider your membership as a way for The Woods to fill financial gaps, so, when choosing your price, think of any amount that you can give extra as a donation to help sustain the space.

      If you're not ready to become a member yet, you can rent at our non-member rates and leave this empty.

      Memberships are for the year starting September 3, 2026 through Sept 2, 2027. If you choose to begin a membership at a later date, it will still need to be renewed in September 2027. (We do not have the administrative capacity to track individual year periods for each member).
