A FEW NOTES

DRESS CODE: Please be sure your dancer is wearing appropriate dancewear. Ladies should wear a leotard and tights to ALL classes, including hip-hop and acrobatics. No t-shirts with bare midriffs please! We do recommend a light sweater to wear over your leotard during chilly months.

PARKING LOT / CLEAN-UP: During snowy months, our parking lot may become a little tight. Any compact vehicles will best fit in the side closest to the building. Any larger truck or SUV will best fit on the outer portion of the lot nearest to the road. Please be sure to park diagonally along the divider. Do not park in the Staff Only section. Let's work together to keep the flow of the carpool pathway (pick-up & drop-off only). As we head into spring we recommend rain boots ... our parking lot tends to get a bit muddy in April!
