People come from around the world to enjoy the gamut of culture that our community offers. However\, recent hardships have caused Aspen’s community of local artists to shrink\, and without these artists Aspen loses a major cultural asset. Our mission at Dance Aspen is to enrich the Roaring Fork Community through locally based curations of high caliber dance. Through strengthening the local arts presence\, we believe that our community will not only fully embody the cultural identity it has been known for\, but grow into a uniquely inspiring place to visit and live. \nVisit danceaspen.org to learn more about this exciting new dance company.
