During this visit from the Denver Rescue Mission, 6 residents and 4 staff members from "The Crossing" experienced our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) as they worked on communication, recovery, and the need for support from others. We set up this day to give additional residents useful insights into their current situation and to examine alternative solutions in the face of tough lssues.

After a 3-month Summer drought (from dance classes), dancers kicked up their heels and joined friends for a free event, our "Hoe Down Dance Party," of popular Country Western Line dances, CW Waltz, Two-Step, and Cowboy Cha Cha. All enjoyed great music and light refreshments.

In an AREA EVENT, the "ROYALS WEDDING DAY English Country Dance" celebrated what is arguably the wedding of the CENTURY. Party-goers danced to LIVE melodies from local sensation "Balance & Swing" as our guest dance-master taught a large room of young (and older) couples through the wildly-popular 1700s dance form as seen in "Pride and Prejudice."

In another visit by the Denver Rescue Mission, 8 residents and 4 staff members from "The Crossing" experienced the healing effects of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) as they learned teamwork, faced their issues, and confronted the need for support from others. We set up this day to give residents insight into their issues and the opportunity to find solutions. In return, they gave us far more- a vision of hope and triumph over very difficult life circumstances.

Ever popular over 75 years, dancers learned Swing basics, adding fancy footwork and combinations for slow, medium, and fast Swing music.

Students got into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day with music from the group sensation Riverdance as they learned the popular line dance named Coastin’ that included a few Irish step-dance moves.

Couples really felt the Latin beat as they learned the Mambo and Merengue. Week 4 was a real treat as folks returned for the fabulous Salsa Circle Dance.

For a special treat this Valentine's month, dance students chose from Monday AND Friday evening classes to enjoy a romantic waltz-blend of choreography from the film "Sound of Music" and from a popular daytime soap opera. Those students arriving early each class worked on Waltz basics to broaden their skills.

A drove of dancers two-stepped down the dance floor during January's "Two-Step Stampede." After they learned moves like the Lasso, Drape, and Swinging Door, several couples showed off this popular dance style at a local Country Western clubs.
