Case Study: LEVYdance
When Garance arrived at LEVYdance in 2015, the organization faced displacement. She secured a 5-year below-market-rate lease and implemented an innovative studio rental management strategy.
Within 6 months LEVYdance:
Increased rental income by 62%
Increased the portion of LEVYdance’s total organizational budget from rental income from 26% to 39%
Increased the number of artists served by 56%
Since then, LEVYdance has sustained and steadily grown rental income over four years.
