The studio
Two studios and a lobby
Technique classes hold up to 14 dancers, and rehearsals up to 20.
Studio A
A pale sprung floor, a barre along one wall and tall windows. Ballet technique and contemporary classes meet here.
Studio B
A black floor for jazz, rehearsal and floor work, with room for a full group to cross the floor.
The lobby
A bench, a plant and a rack of practice skirts. Families wait here during class and sign dancers in.

Sign-in and leaving
Dancers are signed in at the front desk. Younger dancers are handed only to an adult on the family's pickup list, and teens leave on the terms their family has written down.
Warm-up and conditioning
Every class begins with a warm-up, and every level has a conditioning class in the week. Dancers tell a teacher about any pain, before or during class.
Watching class
Families wait in the lobby. Watch weeks in November and March open the studio door for a class.
Class size
