FOR PARENTS WHO STAY FOR CLASSES

 

If you elect to stay for your child's class, please note the following:
 
1) We can hear you in the dance rooms and it is very difficult to teach and to learn with disruptions and excessive noise. PLEASE BE QUIET!
 
2) Little brothers and sisters must be supervised at all times.
STUDIO PARKING
Due to the number of families arriving and leaving at the same time, the parking lot can become very congested. If you are planning on staying during your child's class, please park behind the building, in front of the annex studio or in the side parking spots by our shop - there's ample room. The rear center door will be open during classes. We suggest driving around back, dropping off and then exiting onto Route 80. Please do not park in front of other businesses in the complex. The parking area in front of Born in America Pizza should be used for drop offs and pick ups only. PLEASE SLOW DOWN IN THE PARKING LOT. THERE ARE MANY PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THROUGH THE LOT BETWEEN CLASSES.
