This month Rachael DeMers will be our Blues instructor.  Rachael has an extensive dance background, is one of the best Blues dance instructors out there, and is highly celebrated in Denver.   She travels on the national circuit to dance, compete, and teach, and has placed in the top three at several national  Blues dance competitions.  Rachael has a genuine passion for teaching every level of social dancer and is excited to share her knowledge and love for dance with those who would like to learn.

Jeffrey Brenman and Carol Morris will be teaching our Tango class.  Jeff and Carol have been dancing Tango for 15 plus years, and have studied with countless world class instructors, including Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Javier Rochwarger, Julio Balmaceda and Corina De La Rosa, Jaimes Friedgen and Christa Rodriguez, and Nick Jones and Diana Cruz, among others.  They draw on their experience as students of these masters as well as their years on the social dance floor (dancing Tango and other dances) to bring an accessible, intelligent and enjoyable approach to beginning Tango.

Brenda is fulfilling her childhood dream as a professional dancer and instructor. She studies African American street dances from the turn of the century to the present.

Brenda travels around the world teaching and training with various coaches and historians. Her strength is breaking down the dances in a way that is accessible for anyone, even if they don’t have a dance background. She strives to help her students find the dancer with-in themselves, taking inspiration from dancers of the past. Brenda is working with the Blues dance community during this time of growth to develop curriculum and events that raise the community’s level of dancing. Her hope is to provide structure for material, while keeping the inherent character and nature of the dance.

The DJs

Hot Night gets the best DJs from all over Colorado to come and spin for us.  This is where you’ll hear them play the stuff other organizers won’t let them play.  Rebellious, Raucous, Rambunctious.  All words that describe what I’m talking about.

Don’t Be fooled by their bookish exteriors.  These DJs are dangerous with a soundboard.  Don’t miss out!

Blues: Karen Gilmore

Tango: Fatima Hirji

Fusion: Noah Nethero
