Where To Go Dancing In Littleton & Denver

I like to explore, and am not happy letting the grass grow under my feet.  Having said that, I have made a point of going out periodically
to see what is available for dancing. My first preference is always for dancers to join us for our regular potluck parties. But when those are not available,
here is some of what I have found.

  1. Mid day dances at the Platt park Sr. recreation center Wednesday s from 1-3pm $5 per person http://www.westword.com/locations/platt-park-senior-recreation-center-1343058/ to the swinging sounds of Tom Yook.  Mostly for over 50, but they did not turn 14 yr old Robyn away at the door, and were even bold enough to take her for a spin. This was a fun mid day tea dance with a lovely dessert break at 2:15 followed by a mixer. Great place for couples and singles.
  2. Monthly Friday night dances at the Arvada Elks to the sweet sounds of music DJ’d by Brett Paxton. $10 per person with drawings and a cash bar. Lovely group and a good place for couples & singles to swing in.
  3. Merle’s Restaurant has live music Friday and Saturday nights. They will even push the tables aside to let you cut a rug. Best with a partner http://www.merlesoflittleton.com/
  4. Q’s Pub & grill Littleton has big name bands and you can bump and Grind or spot dance on the packed and jamming floor. This is a crowed club good for singles and couples. http://www.clubzone.com/c/12318/la-rumba-denver 
  5. A long drive but a lovely destination, visit the Broadmoor. They have 2 clubs catering to dining and dancing. Not a lot of singles, but a very romantic evening out for couples.

Holiday Dance Classis a winner

  Dancers from Adventures in Dance flew to Las Vegas last Wednesday December 8th to compete in the Holiday Dance Classic. This was the concluding event for the Global series. We were all very excited to be going
  Thursday morning dancers took to the floor to strut their stuff and vie for the top placements. The feathers flew and everyone ended with personal bests. Charles Gilliam took 2nd in all his smooth single dance events. Craig took 2nd in the global championship. 
  Friday and Saturday were spent sightseeing as the other divisions kept on dancing. We found the neon sign bone yard, and took a ride on a zip line. We then wrapped it up going to see the jersey boys.
  Sunday morning came all to soon. With a 8am curtain call, we were polishing the floorboards as the sun came up. Each competition heat was danced better than the last, and everyone hit personal bests y the end of the day. Craig took 6th in the championship standard rounds. Celebrities from ”So You Think You Can Sing” and “Dancing with the Stars” concluded the evening with a musical review. This was a most memorable event!

Haunting melodies and marvelous costumes graced the floor at Adventures in dance Saturday Oct 23 for the first annual Dinner Dance & Death. Getting into the spirit, students and staff dressed their best and worst, getting into the characters they had chose for Happily Never After. All your favorite storybook characters gathered at the invitation of Mr. Holmes to solve the mystery of who killed Scheherazade. Each character posed for a photo, then had a grand introduction with theme music. Dining over delectable delights, each character reveled leading information about each other. It unwound to a tangled confession from our practiced killer. Once the killer was put behind bars, achievements were presented. Mary Mattson & Steve Malinowski received her certificate for their Medal test. Then the teachers received their certificates for their certification. Havilah Davis, Jeremy Pyrc & Janet Jaecksch received their Jr. Associates Certification. Holly Collins received her Latin Associate. Check out the photos on the photo page for Adventures in Dance.
