Happy New Year! A Change Worthy Of Note....

Happy New Year dancers!

A new year also means new changes, and here's one change that's starting this year.

You ready? Here it is......

Our Thursday classes will now be taking place at the Hartford Ballroom Dance Studio!


That's right.  Most of our classes will be at the main studio at 56 Arbor St!

Now some of you might be wondering "well, why weren't we there from the beginning?"  Here's the reason: back in June, when we were moving to new locations, we feared that our Thursday classes would be too big for our new space.  There was another problem too: Real Art Ways hosts an event every 3rd Thursday that really takes over the entire parking lot. So we rented out the Hebrew High School every Thursday night.

In recent months, however, we discovered that it is possible to hold over 30 students in our new studio.  Plus, using the Hebrew High School didn't seem all that popular.  So we decided to move the classes back over to our main studio.

There's still a problem though: Real Art Ways and the 3rd Thursday of the month.  For the time being, we will use the Hebrew High School for that day so that we don't have an issue with finding parking.  We're willing to give this a shot and see how this goes.

To avoid any confusion, classes will be held at the Hebrew High School for the following dates:
January, 21st
February 18th
March 17th
April 21st

If this idea works, we'll continue doing this throughout the remainder of the year.

Well that's it for now.  Let's dance through the new year!

How To Find The Hartford Ballroom Dance Studio at 56 Arbor St:
1) The address is 56 Arbor St in Hartford.  It's the large red-brick building that contains Real Art Ways.
2) You can park on the street, but the driveway to the parking lot is located immediately to the left of the building.  Follow it all the way down, turn right at the end, and drive through the Real Art Ways parking lot to get into an even bigger parking lot.
4)There's an elevator in the main lobby.  Take the elevator on up to the 4th floor; you'll see us on the right.

The Three Entrances Into The 56 Arbor St Building:
1) The front door.  It's made of glass.  If it's locked, enter 2005* into the keypad.  The front door goes directly into the main lobby

2) The side door.  There's a little parking niche in the left side of the building (you'll see it when you go up the driveway).  It the door is locked, enter 2005* into the keypad.  Hang a right once you're in and go through the door into the main lobby.

3) The parking lot door.  It's the entrance on the right side of the building that opens out onto the large parking lot, right by the huge banner with a frog that says "BOOKS".  This door is supposed to be unlocked during our class hours.  Go in, and turn right down the hallway.  You'll end up in the main lobby.
