Answer: After we found the classroom.

Explanation: an independent clause or idea is a sentence that has complete meaning standing on its own. A dependent or subordinate clause is a phrase that despite having a subject and a predicate, it doesn't make sense when it is by itself. In the given sentence, the independent clause is "we sneaked in the back and took our seats" and the subordinate idea is "after we found the classroom."
