DIRECTIONS TO VARIOUS CLASSES, STUDIOS, STAGES, ETC

These are detailed directions to locations where DanceInTime regularly or occasionally has classes or other activities.

Note that if you are looking for directions to a club, the address and any directions to those locations are listed on the "Clubs" page of this website.

-----------

1.  Trinity University; 125 Michigan Ave. NE; Washington DC 20017 (METRO-ACCESSIBLE & FREE SHUTTLE FROM METRO!)

By car:  Go to 125 Michigan Avenue NE; Washington DC 20017.  Enter by the Cuvilly Drive entrance on Michigan Avenue.  Tell the security guard you are there for the Salsa class in Alumnae Hall.  Follow the road around and you'll see Alumnae Hall on the right.  It is attached to Trinity Center, a big gym, which you pass next.  The road turns to the left after you pass the gym.  After that turn, you'll see Cuvilly Hall, a dormitory, on your right.  Then on your left and up ahead, you will see parking lot 4.  That is for Cuvilly residents and visitors so you can park there.  (You are also welcome to park in lot 6 but it's a little further.)  Walk up to the Alumnae Hall entrance and find Room B1 in the basement of the building.
Note:  You cannot get to Alumnae Hall through the gym, even though they are connected on the outside.

By metro: Go to the Brookland (Catholic University) stop on the red line.  From there it is a 5 block walk to Trinity College, or you can take a shuttle that runs from the Brookland station to the university.  Students in the Salsa class are allowed to use this free "Trinity Shuttle."  It runs every 20 mins and if there is one scheduled to leave the metro station at about 12:45 pm.  You meet the shuttle at the same place where the other buses pick up at the station, and it's well marked.  Walk along the road and follow above directions to find Alumnae Hall after you walk past security.

2.  Dickeyville Studio; 4900 Wetheredsville Rd; Building #2; Baltimore, Maryland
This is the venue for Sunday classes at 5 pm.

From I-695:
Take exit 16 to merge onto I-70 E (same from north or south, head towards the park & ride)
Take exit 94 to merge onto MD-122/Security Blvd (exit right, before park & ride)
Turn right at N Forest Park Ave (first traffic light, exit lane from I-70 becomes turning lane onto N Forest Park)
Turn slight right at Wetheredsville Rd (2nd street after the light at Windsor Mill Rd.) Watch closely for Wetheredsville Rd as it's easy to miss!!
4900 Wetheredsville Rd will be on the left (drive across the metal bridge, first building on the left, beside the bridge. It's building #2)

From Catonsville:
You can take Ingleside Ave (or get on I-695 and follow directions above)
At Security Blvd, Ingleside Ave. becomes N Forest Park Ave
Continue on N Forest Park Ave|
Slight right at Wetheredsville Rd (2nd street after the light at Windsor Mill Rd.)4900 Wetheredsville Rd will be on the left (drive across the metal bridge, first building on the left, beside the bridge. It's building #2)

From inside Baltimore City, please use mapquest to get to the location as there are so many different possible points of departure.

NOTE:  The Wetheredsville Rd. area looks very residential----it doesn't look like you are headed to a studio.  But you ARE headed in the right direction once you are on that street!!  Just keep curving around with Wetheredsville Rd. till you see the metal bridge on your left.  Drive over it, turning left. That brings you into a parking lot where you park.  There is no indication there's a studio in any of the buildings; it looks industrial.  But if you go in Building 2, and then walk into the door straight ahead of you, it's a big, nice dance studio!! (Life lesson:  Looks can deceive!)

6. The Madeira School  (a former class venue--no longer active)

8328 Georgetown Pike; Mc Lean, VA

If you are coming from Vienna, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, or points south in Virginia, get onto the Washington Beltway (Route 495) heading north towards Tyson's Corner/Mc Lean. You get off the Beltway at Georgetown Pike. Take that about 2 miles outside the beltway in the direction of Great Falls and a little before the school you will start to see a white, wooden fence around big pastures. Soon after that, you will come to a sign for the Madeira School on your right. On the left side of the road there is a street sign that says "Bellview Road." So when you see Bellview on your left, turn in to the school which is on your right.

After turning into the school, go 2/10 of a mile to the Gate House and tell the guard that you are there for the Salsa class. He'll let you pass and then go another 2/10 of a mile past a beautiful field and tennis courts on right and left. You will come to the gymnasium on your left with a parking area on the right. You can park there, or in the visitor's parking which is just past the gym and on the left. The student parking lot behind the visitor's parking can also be used. Walk into the "Hurd Gymnasium" and immediately past the entrance area, turn right. You'll see their beautiful dance studio with big windows overlooking the grounds. Note that occasionally the class is moved to the Chapel Auditorium Building due to a special event at the school. The guard at the Gate House when you come in would know if the class was moved FYI.

If you are coming from the Bethesda/Rockville/Silver Spring corridor, then get onto the Washington Beltway (Route 495) and head into Virginia (towards Tysons Corner). Just after the bridge at the MD/VA border, you will see the off ramp for exits 43 and 44 together. One of these exits is the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the other is Georgetown Pike. You follow exit 44 which is Georgetown Pike (also called Route 193). Take that about 2 miles outside the beltway in the direction of Great Falls until you come to the sign for Madeira School on your right. The school sign is small and easy to miss, but on the left-hand side of the street there is a prominent street sign that says "Bellview Road." So when you see Bellview, turn in to the school on your right! See the paragraph above for directions once you are on the school grounds.

---------------------------

7. Crown Dance Studio; 2820 Dorr Ave; Merrifield, VA 22031 (METRO-ACCESSIBLE!) 
This is the venue for the Saturday classes at 11:30 am.

Then turn right onto Hilltop Rd, and then another quick right onto Dorr Ave. There is lots of free parking around the building. Walk in the building's front door, go through a door on the main floor and walk down the corridor. The studio is on the right side of the corridor.

Take 695 (Baltimore Beltway) to the Wilkens (372) exit heading west. Turn right onto Valley Rd and take that all the way onto campus. Go up the hill as you enter the campus, and turn right onto a road that loops around the school. "Q" Bldg. is the first building on the right, a little way around the loop.  Park in lot 3 which is diagonally ahead of Q Bldg to your right. (Don't park in the faculty lot on the left.)  Go in front door of Q Bldg and turn left inside the building.  After passing the clock on the wall, turn right and walk down that corridor to the end where there is a red wall and door.  Open the red door and go down the stairs. Look for the red sign that says "Room Q115 to Q119." Follow the sign and the music to class!

You will be out of doors in a bus area. Turn right at the bus area. Follow the sidewalk, which leads to Monroe Street. Turn right on Monroe Street and go across a short bridge. After the bridge, turn left immediately onto 8th Street, NE. Dance Place is two blocks down on the left side of the street.

Go about three fourths of a mile on Route 1, passing the Department of Agriculture buildings on your left. The studio is located on your left in a building behind a gas station which is either a BP Station or an Amoco. (I thought I saw it marked both ways--maybe it's changing hands.) There is a service road just past the gas station as you head north. You turn left at that service road. (A small shopping center is on your right once you make that turn.) Go up a small hill and there is a small parking lot on your left. Park there and go to the far end of the building which is the entrance to the dance studio.

11. Regan Dance Center
Landmark Mall; 5801 Duke Street; Alexandria, Virginia 22304.  (703)-354-6000 Alliance Dance Institute is on the second floor of this mall.

By Car
From the north (Maryland suburbs or Baltimore):
Get onto the Washington Beltway (495) and take it till you get to Route 395. Then you can take 395 north and get off at the Duke Street exit (route 236). That puts you going right to the mall--you'll see it ahead on your left. Follow the signs for the mall--but be careful as it's a little tricky to actually get into the mall even though you can see it.  The signs take you up to the right, headed slightly away from the mall, and then around before you drive into the mall parking lot.

From Virginia, further north or west of Alexandria:
If you are driving from the other side of Virginia (further west like Fairfax), then you can just take the beltway around towards Route 395 (which is the next exit further west from Van Dorn). From 495, get off at 395 going north. From 395, take the Duke Street exit (route 236) which is right at the Landmark mall. Follow the signs for the mall.

3215 Powder Mill Rd; Adelphi, MD 20783.   The website for the church is www.pbuuc.org FYI.

From 95
To go there from I95, take exit 29B west on Powder Mill Road (MD 212) and go a mile and a half past 4 traffic lights to the church parking lot on the left. The sign for the church is small and easy to miss. They run a Montessori School at the church and the school sign is easier to spot--just keep your eyes peeled. It's maybe a quarter of a mile past Cherry Hill Road as you come down Powder Mill.   Once you arrive, there is a large parking lot. Walk to the church following the walkway. At the end of the walkway you face the church. Look to your left and there is another building.
That is their office building, and that is where we practice, in one of the rooms on the first (top) floor.

From 495 either direction

a. If you are coming from the Washington Beltway, 495 on the east side, then get off at the Route 1 exit and turn right onto Cherry Hill Rd. Take it to Powder Mill and make a left. The church is a short distance down on your left. The sign for the church is small and easy to miss. They run a Montessori School at the church and the school sign is easier to spot--just keep your eyes peeled. It's maybe a quarter of a mile past Cherry Hill Road as you come down Powder Mill.  Once you arrive, there is a large parking lot. Walk to the church following the walkway. At the end of the walkway you face the church. Look to your left and there is another building.
That is their office building, and that is where we practice, in one of the rooms on the first (top) floor.

b. From the other direction on 495, you can get off the beltway at New Hampshire Ave (exit 28A) and go north. Turn right onto Powder Mill Rd very soon after getting off the beltway, and go a mile and then bear left at the next light. Go up a hill and the church is on your right.

14.   Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center on the University of Maryland Campus

Get to the College Park area, and drive down University Blvd (this intersects Route 1) which borders the University on one side. If you are coming from 495, the Washington Beltway, you can do this by getting off at Route 1 (Baltimore Blvd) and then turn right at University Blvd (193).  From there, turn into the University on Stadium Drive.  Coming from Greenbelt or the Route 1 direction, it will be a left onto Stadium Drive.  If you were coming down University Blvd. from the Langley Park direction, it's a right onto Stadium Drive.

After turning onto Stadium Drive, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center is the first building on your right, just a little ways up the street. It's a huge building.

Word to the wise: It's really difficult to find this building if you enter the University from any other entrance, so do enter the University from Stadium Drive.

To park, drive past the performing arts building on Stadium Drive to the end of the block.  You will come to a "T intersection" (i.e. Stadium Drive comes to a dead end at this intersection). The lot that you are staring at straight ahead when you get to that intersection is one of the few on campus where visitors can park.  (I think it's call lot 1B?)  To enter the lot, turn right at the "T intersection" and then make a left into the lot where you see the sign that says "visitors' parking."

15. Saffron Dance Studio; 3260 Wilson Blvd.; Arlington, VA

For driving directions, you may want to mapquest this address as there are many ways you can get there. But if you are coming from somewhere along Route 395, you get off at the Washington Blvd/VA 27W exit which is exit 8A. Stay on Washington Blvd. and then turn left onto Wilson Blvd and find the address. There is plenty of parking behind the building.  Also, it's easy to access by metro as this is just one block off the Clarendon Metro Station on the "Orange line."

16. Hollywood Ballroom; 2126 Industrial Parkway; Silver Spring, Maryland 20904  301.622.5494.

Turn Right onto Industrial Parkway.
Turn LEFT into the driveway of the 2nd building on the left. Hollywood Ballroom is located halfway along the driveway.

To go by public transportation:
Take the red line train to the Glenmont (MD) station.  Buses go from the Glenmont station right to the Hollywood Ballroom's driveway (Take Ride-on Bus 10 toward Hillendale).

17. DC Dance Collective; 4908 Wisconsin Avenue NW # 2; Washington D.C., DC 20016  phone: (202) 362-7244  (Enter on the lower level.)

Parking:  To park, go to the corner just south of the address---at Wisconsin Ave. and Ellicott Street.  You will see that 42nd Ave. comes off that intersection at an angle.   You veer onto 42nd Street (it's a mild right if you are coming south on Wisconsin Ave heading into DC).  Then you'll see a Safeway store on the right.  Dancers often park in that Safeway if they don't see spaces on the street.

Using Metrorail----DC Dance Collective is located approximately four blocks from both the Friendship Heights and Tenlytown Metro stations (both on the Red Line). When coming from the Friendship Heights station, exit the station via the Jenifer Street exit (it's the exit with no escalators, only elevators). Turn right once you get to the street level. You'll be on Wisconsin Avenue headed south. The streets are (in order) Jenifer, Ingomar, Harrison, Garrison, Fessenden, Ellicott. We are in between Fessenden and Ellicott, next door to an El Salvadoran resturant. Enter on the lower level.

Driving from inside DC----Generally, the easiest way to the studio is to use one of the major artery streets which cross, or come near Wisconsin Avenue. From the SE Quadrant use New York Avenue to Massachusetts to Wisconsin, and turn right onto Wisconsin. From the NE Quadrant use Missouri Avenue to Military Road to Reno Road, turn left onto Reno, and take Reno to Fessenden Street, turn right onto Fessenden. Fessenden will cross Wisconsin. From the SW Quadrant, use I-395 to New York Avenue. Turn left on New York, which will turn into Massachusettes. Take Massachusetts to Wisconsin. Turn right onto Wisconsin. The Studio is in between Fessenden and Ellicott Streets.

Driving from North/East of DC----Silver Spring, Annapolis, Bowie:  Take I-495 Outerloop, Capital Beltway and go West. Bear right on ramp at sign reading "Connecticut Avenue" and stay in right-hand lane. When you come to the redlight, turn left onto Connecticut Avenue. Stay on Connecticut until you get to the circle. Follow the circle to the right, and take the second right (which will be Western Avenue). At the second redlight, turn left onto 41st Street. When 41st Street splits to Reno Road to the left, stay on 41st Street. Follow 41st Street until the intersection at Fessenden and turn right. Fessenden will intersect at Wisconsin Avenue. The Studio is in between Fessenden and Ellicott Streets.

18. Emergence Community Arts Collective (733 Euclid St NW; Washington DC 20001)

By public transportation: Use the Shaw/Howard metro (green line), and come out the Howard University exit, on 7th St.  Make a right (north) as you exit the station and walk about 6 blocks to Euclid St, (passing the Howard University on the right.)  Or take bus 70 or 71 from the metro station to Euclid St.  You can also take express bus 79, which stops at Howard Place about a block south of Euclid.  Note, 7th St changes to Georgia Avenue at Florida. 
At Euclid St., turn left and go 1/2 block to the ECAC, on your right.
  The building has steep stairs in front.  Enter through the right hand door and take the stairs to the 2nd floor.  The studio is at the door at the top of the stairs.
(This location is just a little farther from the U St metro stop also, FYI. So you can use that metro stop as well.)

For drivers, use mapquest or a GPS to arrive.  If you get lost, you can call Sylvia who runs the place at 202-462-2285.  Drivers will find parking on Euclid street and there are a few spaces in a lot behind the building that you can use as well.

19. Mobtown Ballroom (861 Washington Boulevard Baltimore, MD 21230)

Please use a GPS or mapquest to find this location which is in downtown Baltimore.  There is ample free street parking around the ballroom.
