Covid Update -- we're open & vibing!

Covid-19 Update February 2022:

• All patrons must wear masks while indoors at 7DC.
• Students & non-Pocket room renters do not need to show proof of vax.
• Pocket performers & attendees must show proof of vax to enter The Pocket and/or perform at the venue.
• Flashband participants must show proof of vax to register.

 

1. MASKS - Masks are required inside and outside of all rooms.
2. MICROPHONES - All singers are required to use our provided disposable mic covers. Mics must be requested from the front desk and are collected and sanitized daily. 
3. AIR - Our buildings do not have central air ducts, which decreases air circulation between rooms (good).  We use high-efficiency wall-mounted mini-split units which circulate and filter air in each room through newly upgraded filtration systems.

North Capitol Street Location

2017 Feature with DC's "202 Creates"

   7DC has been a second home and family for me. It is not only a place to practice and learn music, it is also a community that stems out into different events such as Flashband.
– Héctor C

   Their teachers don't just show you how to play drums, they share their passion for music with you and help you develop your own.

​   The 7DC team has effortlessly made me feel comfortable, assisted, and welcomed. It's very easy to book a room online and I enjoy the personal contact I have with my teacher and the managing staff.  
​- Gabriela

   7DC is a warm and welcoming place. Great community!
