1. Studio rentals: micadanses operates 5 studios (May B, Noces, Biped, So Schnell, Nelken) open year-round, 9h–22h, available for rental to amateur and professional dancers, dance companies, and choreographers. Rentals support rehearsals, workshops, classes, private lessons, and auditions. Pricing varies by studio size, activity type, and participant count. Structures renting the spaces must hold an annual membership (40€ for season 25-26).
2. Classes, workshops, and masterclasses: micadanses hosts over 30 regular courses and hundreds of stages per season spanning classical, contemporary, jazz, flamenco, African, Indian, and inclusive dance styles. Courses are delivered by independent teachers who set their own fees and manage enrollments directly. Professional-level ERac sessions are free upon membership; other courses and workshops are paid.
3. Ticketing and box office: The organization sells tickets online for events, festival performances, and ERac membership via its billetterie platform (billetweb). Membership fees (90€ per season) provide access to the ERac training season and reduced rates for festival events.
4. Membership / Adhésion: Annual membership (90€ per season, September–August) offers professional dancers free access to the ERac training season (27 weeks/year), access to a paid composition course, discounted studio rental rates for individual rehearsals, and reduced rates for intensive sessions and festival performances.
