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.

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.

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!

Our daughter was getting married and my wife and I wanted to learn some swing dance for the…read morewedding. My wife found Sherry and what a great find. Fi I was a little nervous to start, having never done a dance class, but Sherry eased my nerves in the first 10 minutes. She has the ability's to explain in a way that makes sense to both of us, even though my wife and I may not be thinking the same thing. I was also concerned about the virtual lessons, but in reality that was much better. You have the comfort of you own house with the individual teaching. It felt more like Sherry was at our house than us being at her studio. I think that made a huge difference and lessened my anxiety and made the learning much easier. We have learned the fox trot, east coast swing, and the jitterbug. Now were are transitioning to the Latin styles. I would highly recommend Sherry. She makes the lessons fun and low stress. I would have never ventured out to a club for a night of dancing without her support. Now we are going dancing a couple nights a month.

Now I enjoy the beauty of other people bending their bodies in ways I cannot even imagine. We came to see Fancy Footwork which was a fundraiser for the dancers to apply for various grants. Fancy Footwork was a series of short 2-5 minute dances that were a combination of classic and modern dance. In short- we LOVED it! I love not knowing what is coming next. The modern dance which typically I am less a fan of then the classics was jaw droopingly gorgeous and creative. The studio on Santa Fe is also small and intimate and the audience sat in a bleacher style set up that made for a really special night.

The class that Angie teaches is very fun and releasing, it really brightens my week. I couldn't ask for a better modern teacher to have! She definitely taken my appreciation for dance to a new level. Her choreography is one of my all time favorite to do and to watch and I always leave class excited for the next week. I am so grateful to have been introduced to modern by such a fantastic person and teacher.

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!
