Studio Space
As a professional dancer in New York City, Sifra has always struggled to find affordable and suitable rehearsal space for her practice. The current process of searching and booking rehearsal spaces is incredibly time-consuming and inefficient. Sifra often finds herself navigating through multiple websites, trying to find available spaces that fit her schedule, budget, and specific requirements such as wifi, air conditioning, and self-entry access. This arduous task takes away valuable time and energy that could be better spent on honing her craft.
Sifra's experience highlights the need for a centralized platform that offers comprehensive information on available rehearsal spaces, making the search and booking process easier and more efficient for artists like her... and like YOU!

PAST PROJECTS
Covid-Conscious Classes
Spring through fall of 2020, LEMI had an opportunity to connect artists with community in a series of outdoor dance and fitness classes hosted in Open Streets and NYC Parks.
Pay-what-you-can proceeds from this series benefitted Astoria Food Pantry, a pop-up mutual aid that started during the early days of the pandemic.
