What to Wear: Anything you're comfortable in that lets you move. For ladies we do not recommend long skirts (e.g. Maxi skirts or dresses) since they are hard to take side steps on.

Shoes: Slippery shoes and shoes that stay on your feet well are the best. Avoid sneakers with rubber soles, heavy boots, platform heels and slippers/sandals/heels without backs and pumps that may slip off the back of your heel if you go up on your toes.

PARKING: Parking is free for the first hour and $2 per every 30 min after (you can get street parking on King Street if you're lucky but it's only free after 6 pm and on Sundays). The parking entrance is on University avenue immediately after the Coyne St. light and Betty's Burgers (you'll pass a chained ramp first - it needs repair). . It's super hard to see and folks miss it all the time. After you get your ticket you turn right and head towards that exit (it looks like a cave), if you look to your right as you go under the overhang you'll see a ramp up to the 2nd level. Go up and park there. The entrance to the studio is right next to the handicapped parking spots. Head through that door and turn to the right and go through the glass doors. The Salon is the red door that is passed the double glass doors.
