DIRECTIONS TO THE HO-HO-KUS CLASS
- By car from NJ Route 17 (N or S):
- Take the Hollywood Avenue exit. Head west until the second light and turn left at Sheridan Ave. After about a quarter mile, turn left onto Warren Ave (immediately after the Fire Station on the left). The church is on the right at next the intersection
- From Manhattan on public transportation:
- NJ Transit Rail Main/Bergen County Line runs from the PATH Station in Hoboken to Ho-Ho-Kus, about a half mile walk from the church.
- The Short Line Bus Company runs buses from Port Authority in Manhattan to Ho-Ho-Kus. Check the schedule carefully; some buses stop in downtown Ho-Ho-Kus about a block from the church; all of them stop at the Ridgewood Park and Ride about a mile from the church; you may be able to arrange a ride with another dancer.
