Dance, Fitness and Movement Studio Space in Philadelphia
Your own room to teach, train and rehearse, open whenever your clients are. D Street Studios leases private studios from about 475 to 1,770 square feet with 17 to 20 foot ceilings and original wood plank floors, in two restored 1888 mill buildings in Philadelphia.
A room built for movement
Ceilings of 17 to 20 feet make lifts, aerial work and full-extension movement possible in a way a storefront never will. Many studios keep the original wood plank floors, and the factory window openings bring in daylight on at least one side. Dancers and wellness businesses are already among the 130+ tenants.
Studios are private and individually locked, so your mirrors, mats, barres and equipment stay set up between classes. Clients are buzzed in from your phone through the ButterflyMX video intercom, at 6am or 9pm, and renovated restrooms are on every floor.
Running a class business here
The building is open to tenants 24/7, every day of the year, and there is secure indoor bike parking and a gated courtyard for warm-weather sessions. Leases are annual with a credit check and renters insurance. Tell us on the tour form what you teach and how many people a class holds, and we will show you studios sized for it.
Studios that suit this use

Questions we get asked
Can I hold group classes?
Yes. Studios are private, individually locked spaces you lease annually, so you set your own schedule. Class size depends on the studio; the larger open studios suit 15 to 25 people.
What are the floors like?
Many studios keep the original wood plank floors from the mill. Some are concrete. Ask on the tour which you are seeing, and plan any sprung or marley floor as your own build-out.
How do clients get in?
Through the ButterflyMX video intercom. You see who is at the door and buzz them in from your phone, whether or not you are already in the studio.
Can I run early morning or late evening sessions?
Yes. Tenants have 24/7 access. Amplified music is subject to the building's noise requirements, so let us know if your classes are loud.
What does a movement studio cost?
Open studios that suit classes and training currently run from about $1,000 to $2,200 a month, for roughly 475 to 1,770 square feet.
