View of entrance to the Studio
View of the office and front hall
As you enter from the parking lot through the entrance you are greeted by the office directly in front of you. Here you will find Cheryl Dodge and Heather Latour who will answer all of your questions. The payment drop box can also be found here on the wall to the right of the window. To your left are the stairs that lead to the upper lounge, snack bar, video center as well as Studios D, E and F. To your right is Studio B and straight ahead down the hall you will find the lower lounge and Studios A and C.
View of Studio C
Starting down the hallway the first room on your right is Studio C, the Yellow room. You can see from all the mats and gymnastics equipment what class is held here.
View of Studio B
Continuing on down the hallway the next room on your right is Studio B, the Blue Room. You will be able to visualize this better once I take a picture of this room.
View of downstairs lounge
Straight down the hallway leads you to the downstairs lounge area where parents and kids can wait between classes.
View of Studio A
Just beyond the downstairs lounge at the end of the hallway is Studio A. With its hard wood floors, ballet bars and expansive size it is ready for just about any type of class.
View of upstairs lounge
Now we turn around and go back to the front entrance. Immediately to our left is the staircase leading to the upstairs lounge. On any given day you will probably see any number of students in this lounge area in between classes. The tables on the right are a good place to get a headstart on the evenings homework.
View of Karate dojo
Now that you're upstairs, this room is on your immediate right. This is an old picture as this room has been transformed into a karate dojo.
View of snack bar
Back to the upstairs lounge, directly in front of you on your left is the snack bar area where students can sit and eat their lunch between classes, or work on their homework.
View of video center
If you keep panning left you will find the video center. A good collection of videos and a few bean bag chairs.
View of Studio E
And on we go, only 2 Studios left. At the back of the upper lounge area on your right is another studio.
View of Studio F
And finally, we made it. All the way back, around the corner and up the small staircase to Studio F.
Thats all folks!!
And now we're at the end of our studio tour. Its looks even better in person so now that you know where you are going keep an eye out for those parent watch days!! Once again many thanks to all the individuals that put in so much hard work to make this renovation possible.
