The Arvada Center is a spectacular venue, if you're not too far away. For us, the 25 minute drive…read moreis well worth it. Plan to arrive early if you're seeing a live performance as there are multiple galleries to spend some time with, along with light bites and beverages. There are so many seating areas sprinkled throughout the space, if ya wanna just lounge while you wait. Speaking of light bites and beverages, they have some decent offering and aren't too over the top for what'd you'd expect to pay at a live performance. I also don't mind supporting such a great venue and organization. We've seen a few performances at a couple of their theatres. My favorite is likely the most intimate space, The Black Box Theatre. The other larger space is well laid out, just bigger. I love the creativity and variety of their offerings. We've seen so many great shows. Def will return. And, the last time we were there, we learned about their spring plant sale that took place in their parking lot. Who knew? We went and really appreciated the local community collaboration. Check them out. It'll be a great experience.

Then I had a friend who…read moreblessed me with a dream to dance!I've heard about La Rumba for years, but I never had the cajones to actually show up and get your groove on! I also had a goal to get over dance anxiety, embrace anxiety and Salsa/ Bachata dance lessons were my ticket to shine!! Street parking and a cover fee at $15.00 for 1 hour dance lesson, a dress code requirement and an entry to dance the entire night! The people are alive and very friendly and super comfortable being okay with two left feet. These dance lessons have some wonderful dance instructors and they make the two left feet in me want to come out and find my rhythm. La Rumba is 21+ with a full bar with dance floor. The restrooms and dance hall are super clean-- they have a VIP dancing area! The lights, the music make me escape from the every day 9-5 day job! I love the fun, the rebellious dance lessons and sexy swaying in all of us! The best part is being yourself. This isn't like Dancing With The Stars!! Everyone is here to learn, from all different ages, backgrounds of dancing, no dancing at all-- you name it! Everyone is here with a purpose. The goal is to keep coming! Don't give up!

The other reviews mention the bathroom attendant, she was really kind to me, unfortunately she doesn't take Apple Pay/Venmo, just cash but I know that's part of the experience. Make sure to dress up, dance and have fun, I'm grateful for the amazing music, the beautiful beats. All of the workers were welcoming and even gave some great advice. Hope the experience can be matched if not surpassed for everyone reading this.

We are so grateful to Sherry for being the most incredible dance instructor! She not only managed…read moreto teach two engineers how to dance (so trust us, she can teach anyone!) but did so with such kindness, patience, and grace. We were initially skeptical about learning remotely, but it ended up being the best possible way for us to learn! Sherry made the virtual experience so convenient, flexible, and surprisingly fun. Her ability to break things down and guide us step by step was just as effective as being in the same room--and it allowed us to practice comfortably at home on our own schedule. Sherry is an absolute gem--a beautiful soul who is so passionate about what she does, and it shines through in every lesson. She turned something we were nervous about into one of the highlights of our wedding preparation. Working with Sherry was such a joy, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to help us prepare for our first dance. If you're looking for someone to help you feel confident, have fun, and create something truly special, Sherry is your person. We can't recommend her enough!

Sherry was absolutely amazing! We decided we wanted a wedding dance only a month before our date…read moreand Sherry was incredibly accommodating. She took 15-20 minutes to explain the typical process on the phone to me and then we scheduled our first lesson. My wife and I were immediately put at ease by her friendliness and eagerness to help. We promptly booked 10 hours with Sherry. She took the time to walk through her openings with us so that we could fit all the lessons in before our wedding. She put together a wonderful choreographed routine to our song that made us feel special but was still easy enough to learn. Neither of us had partner dance experience before this so we started off very basic and worked up to fancier moves as we got more comfortable. Sherry was always very encouraging while providing clear and useful feedback. If we weren't understanding something, she would take the time to demonstrate again or explain it in a different way. She excels in being very specific with her critiques so that we knew exactly what we needed to practice and keep in mind. The dance lessons were such a fun experience for us amidst all of the other chaos of the month before our destination wedding. We absolutely LOVED Sherry and plan to return for more lessons in the near future. We can not recommend her highly enough!

We tried a few lesson programs here (we're not great and definitely need instruction!) and ultimately, we really struggled to find a great environment to learn to dance in Denver. But just recently, we found Swingin' Denver! We dropped in for an advanced Lindy Hop lesson last night and loooved it! The instructors are really good dancers and the lessons are challenging - which is much needed for us since we've had a year and a half break from any instruction/social dances/practice whatsoever. The instructors are friendly and dedicated to creating a friendly, inclusive, active swing dance community in the Denver area. They appear to plan several social dances (some with DJs but some with live bands - which are the best kind of social dances). At the conclusion of each class, the instructors videotape the moves and post them on Youtube, which is great since my husband and I love to practice. I'm really excited to attend future classes - maybe I'll even check out a Balboa class. If you're looking for Lindy Hop instructors, I highly recommend Swingin' Denver!
