The Westin Hotel is visible on the left, if coming from the south. Follow the road signs to Princeton Forrestal Village. If coming from the north, it is a right hand turn. Right after Independence Way, you will follow road signs to Princeton Forrestal Village. DO NOT follow signs to Princeton Forrestal Campus, or College Road. If you stay on course for Princeton Forrestal Village, you will enter the Village complex on Village Boulevard with Ruth’s Steak House on the right. You will come to a stop sign at a fountain (the Westin will be on your left). Drive a half circle around the fountain, as if going straight on Village Boulevard. DO NOT turn right onto Main Street. You will pass Luxe Home Company on your right if you stay on Village Boulevard. Continue straight. You will pass a left turn to Salt Creek Grill on left (opposite this on the right is the pedestrian walkway called Rockingham Row, which is where the studio is). A short distance past this pedestrian walkway, there is a garage on your right. If you park on the ground floor / lower level, go through the double doors into the only brick building connected to the garage. Walk through the hallway (Gymboree is on your left), and come out to the pedestrian walkway, Rockingham Row. Turn left and you will see the sign for the Princeton Dance & Theater Studio, next to the food court.njadta@...
