Couples made their "swing" into Spring by learning the ever-popular Lindy Hop and Charleston swing styles. A few of the couples took a graduation “field trip” to the Turnverein to practice their new swing skills.

We all got into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day to music from the group sensation Riverdance as we learned the fun and popular line dance named Coastin’ that includes a few step-dance moves.

From 10:00am till 1:30pm, 9 residents and 9 staff and interns enjoyed the healing effects of interacting with horses at WindyRidge Thoroughbreds. We all learned about communication, teamwork, and handling challenges. The horses, obstacles, and situations encountered in the exercises provided metaphors for difficulties faced by individual residents. Most could point out a time when they could relate to what the horse must have been going through. Interns indicated that they had also learned something about themselves, and better ways to help others as a result of the experience.

Several couples put on their boots and jeans and added new styling to one of the most popular dances found at Denver’s Country Western clubs. This dance combines a form of couples’ line dance with the creativity of adding personal variations all to music selections. Some couples attended an optional “field trip” to practice their new skills.

Students enjoyed the East Coast Swing - a versatile, slow to medium tempo swing variation for 50’s rock and roll, Big Band, and Country western music selections. Some couples attended an optional “field trip” to practice their new skills.

Starting with the basics of The Tango, each week introduced students to fiery new steps including the Mambo (Salsa), and Merengue - all are served with an attitude of fun.
