Empire Studios is a dance studio at 2 Bond Street in Grey Lynn, Auckland. It runs course and term dance classes, open classes, Pilates classes and workshops, along with socials and pop-up open classes. Teachers are on site 15 to 20 minutes before the first class. The studio is also available to hire seven days a week from 7am to 11pm, and until midnight on Saturdays, so groups can book their own sessions in the same space.
Course and term classes are registered first and invoiced afterwards, while open classes, pop-ups and studio hire are paid when booked, by online banking or PayPal. Hire customers can create an account to manage their own bookings. Changes made at least 48 hours ahead carry no fee beyond Stripe transaction fees, but inside 48 hours bookings cannot be refunded or moved. Amplified music must be kept to reasonable levels, especially after 9pm, and from 8:30pm visitors enter and leave through the car park. No classes run on public holidays.
