PARKING
Here are couple of reminders about parking:
Please do not park in our alley between buildings. It's
recommended not to drive through the alley during dance
hours.
We share the back parking lot and like to be good
neighbors. Please use either on- street parking or pull
into a marked space in the parking lot behind the studio.
Parking is available on both sides of Front Street and
Greene Street. Parking enforcement in downtown
Marietta began earlier this summer. Not minding fire
Oct. 5 hydrants and time limits could get expensive!

Lafayette hotel and the Ohio river.
