'Private Rehearsal' rates are all bookings that are organised purely for non-commercial purposes. This means that the participants are not obliged to pay and the session is not advertised or open to the public. Such hires are dance group rehearsals, private lessons, private company meetings and training sessions. This also means that the participants will not be obliged to pay Expressions a membership. If a hire is advertised to the public in any way it does not qualify as a private rehearsal. Please see the 'Public Classes' page for further info.
