What's the deal with parking? Do I have to pay?
Yes, Larchmont has installed pay stations on streets and in lots that were previously free. However, there are many streets that do NOT require payment for two hour parking. This includes the downhill part of Addison Street (behind Groove) and the CVS parking lot. Please check the signs carefully!
What should I bring to class?
For all Bands:
All materials and instruments will be provided.
For all JAMS:
BYOI! Bring any musical instruments to the Jam that your child enjoys! We are not yet able to distribute and share small percussion instruments. You can purchase a sweet Groove pack full of our favorite hand-held percussion instruments HERE.
PLUS + in the Park:
Please bring sunscreen, water, and a blanket to sit on. You may bring a chair but please be sure the kids can see over you. You can also bring a shade umbrella that can be securely tethered into the ground.

Just a reminder to please remove your shoes in our studio. Also, we ask that you park your stroller outside the studio and put all belongings in a cubby so that we can maximize the space for singing and dancing! Food is not allowed in the studio.
