What we're about
This group is designed to connect dancers in the Boulder-Longmont-Denver areas and the various dance events/classes that go on in our area.
Join us on the dance floor and let's get moving!
We post about Salsa/Folk/Swing Dance (Both Coasts and everything in between)/Waltz/Tango/International Dances and dances even we are yet to try!
We welcome all skill levels, even folks who need help moving one or more feet to the rhythm (We were there once too!).
This group serves mostly as a facilitator between dance organizers/instructors and dancers. We are usually not directly affiliated with the classes/events that we post here, and are mostly interested in connecting dancers that want to go for these events.
If you'd like your event listed here, please message us to be added to our schedule.

CFOOTMAD presents Hands Across contra dances on fourth Saturdays in Denver. These dances are designed to be particularly welcoming to members of the LGBTQ+ community, including featuring gender netural calling. Our dances are open to everyone; dancers are welcome to dance their preferred roles. No partner is required; it is customary for dancers to change partners for each dance. There is a short walk-through before the dance begins. We also offer a 30 minute lesson prior to the start of the dance. For more information, visit our website, www.cfootmad.org.
