"I love this place! I sometimes teach dance classes here, the dance space is an excellent hidden gem if you want to teach or take a class in Aspen. The art curation and art classes are also a 10/10. I’m so glad this stayed an arts & culture space in Aspen’s West End when it was voted on long ago. It’s a staple for the local arts community in Aspen."
