Dance & Movement Arts

No. 2nd Summit looks for offerings that welcome true beginners as well as people dusting off old skills. Many sessions start with basic instruction and build slowly, so you can get comfortable with the music, steps, and space before things pick up. If an activity leans more advanced, we’ll say so clearly.

If you can stand and move around a room at a walking pace, there will likely be options for you. Styles like line dancing, Zumba Gold, and social ballroom can be taken at a steady, comfortable intensity. You’re always encouraged to rest, modify movements, or sit out a song as needed—there’s no expectation to keep up with anyone else.

You’re absolutely welcome to come solo. Many people do. For partner dances, most community events rotate partners, and we focus on settings where singles are included naturally. For non-partner styles—like line dancing, Zumba Gold, or some folk forms—no partner is needed at all, which can be a nice way to ease in.

Comfortable, breathable clothing and shoes you can move in are usually all you need. Closed-toe, low-traction shoes are often recommended for smoother turns, but we’ll share any specific guidance for each gathering. A water bottle and light layers are helpful so you can stay comfortable as you warm up.

Costs vary by venue and format—some community dances are quite affordable, while workshop-style classes can be a bit more. When we list a specific gathering, we’ll include clear price information and whether there are drop-in options. Our aim is to highlight experiences that feel like good value for the time, attention, and resources you’re investing.

We’re in the process of curating dance and movement offerings around the Denver Metro area that fit our Move, Discover, and Connect pillars. Rather than hosting everything ourselves, we often partner with or recommend trusted local studios, instructors, and community groups that share our low-pressure, welcoming approach. As the calendar grows, you’ll be able to browse options, pick what fits your taste and schedule, and join in as often as you’d like.
