Mission Statement
Our programs bring to Colorado the music and dance of the Americas featuring Lindy Hop, Argentine Tango, and Jazz, and other American Vintage and Folkloric dances such as Cueca, Swing, Charleston, Balboa, Jitterbug, and Tap.
This is accomplished by providing school and pre-school programs with expert dance instructors; and organizing youth events that bring world-champion and internationally-recognized expert instructors, musicians, and dancers to educate students across a wide range of ages.
Giving to the Schools & Community
cmDance is reaching out in 2011 to serve more of the community. As part of this, we are expanding our services and instruction to include school programming. Currently, we are teaching jazz and swing dancing within 34 Head Start preschools in the Denver area, with hopes of teaching at all 46 in January. Plans to teach in middle and high schools are also being made.
In addition, cmDance gives upcoming Denver dancers the chance to attend large events and workshops on scholarship, an opportunity they otherwise wouldn't have.
Help fund our 2011 School Programs by making a tax deductible donation.

Cultural Events
Community Minded Dance was invited to participate in the Denver Biennial of the Americas in 2010. We hosted the welcome dance featuring a performance of multiple styles of dance and music from South and North America. Our annual event, Lindy on the Rocks, was also part of the celebration, featuring an outdoor Sunday dance at historic Cheesman Park with social dancing, competitions, and performances.
cmDance also hosts monthly Tango and Blues Fusion dances to promote the love of, and sharing of dance knowledge, within the community. These dances are always well attended, a fun social meet-up, and a great way to share in the historical culture of American dance.
