b. Once you see door monitor or dancers being released, please pull forward along fence and use the parking lot a roundabout circling in front of doors. – your dancer may be walked out to your car in case our parking spots may be occupied by one of neighbors clients in front of our studio doors. We will do our best to have your dancer ready for pick up as we see & recognize cars lining up. If your dancer is not ready when you drive up to the roundabout area, please circle back to the lineup so we can keep the cars flowing as best as possible. Thank you.
~ If your class happens to be at the end of the night you may park along the sidewalk area and in our parking area, only at the end of the evening. Thank you.
