[ooc: ooh! You might like the documentary "Afternoon of a Faun", about Tanaquil Le Clercq, who was a star of the NYC Ballet and went on to advise and mentor at the Dance Theatre of Harlem after she contracted polio. lots of amazing archival footage of her performances, and she was a fascinating lady in general. :D and honestly someone needs to cast Benedict as a dancer somewhere, because he's impressively physical. that stripper sketch on SNL didn't count.]

The acquaintance he'd paid at the beginning of the night to watch their things sees him hurrying over and darts out from the coat check to hand them back. And, because he's Sherlock and of course he'd know the layout of this place backwards and forwards, Sherlock manages to find a nearly-hidden corridor for them to cut through onto a side street so they can avoid the rush to catch a cab out front.
