Dancin' Dreams, L.L.C.

Dancin' Dreams is a Denver-area dance studio founded in 2007 by Karen, who opened the first location in southeast Denver after a childhood in dance that she valued for its friendships and core values rather than as a route to a professional career. It has since grown from a single studio room to two multi-room locations, managed by Karen with her daughter Loray. The studio is deliberately non-competitive, focusing on expression and love of dance, and runs a leadership training program that pairs classes with a monthly leadership theme and life-skills work. Classes are grouped by age: Mommy & Me for walking toddlers to age 3, Twinkle Toes for ages 3-5, Fundamentals for ages 5-7 introducing ballet, tap and jazz twice weekly, Level I for ages 7-11, and Levels II-V by teacher evaluation covering ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, acro and hip hop. An adult program welcomes all ages and abilities from returning dancers to complete beginners, and students take part in a recital. A paid introductory program is offered to new families.
