Join us with DanceAspen as they pull back the curtain (literally and figuratively) on contemporary choreography and allow you to observe how their upcoming performance at the historic Wheeler Opera House is taking shape through rehearsals.

On November 14th, join Shane Urton in his process as he creates new work set to DanceAspen’s first-ever commissioned score by composer Camiel Jansen, transforming the rhythms of corporate life into movement of surprising lyricism.

On January 9th, 2025 Princess Grace Award–winner Houston Thomas will rehearse his reinvention of the iconic Swan Lake pas de deux, fusing its timeless music with visceral, modern intensity.

On January 29th, rising choreographic voice Emilie Leriche will rehearse her piece, which draws from poetry, crafting dances as if they were paragraphs and chapters—language made physical.

This is a fantastic opportunity to experience firsthand the dedication, artistry, and collaborative spirit that goes into bringing dance to the stage. These open rehearsals are a prelude to Dance Aspen’s full production, Re:imagine, which will be presented at the Wheeler.

Re:imagine, an evening of world premieres by American choreographers whose careers abroad in Europe have shaped bold new visions for contemporary ballet.

Zumba is a global dance phenomenon that invites the body and spirit into a state of pure, rhythmic connection. Originally inspired by the vibrant dance traditions of Latin America — Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, and Reggaeton — Zumba has since grown into a dynamic fusion of world rhythms, blending Afrobeat, Bollywood, Bhangra, Belly Dance, Hip Hop, and more into an electrifying celebration of movement.

Join us every Saturday at 10:30 am at the Third Street Center studio for a fun 50-minute class to explore every rhythm in movement and joy.

On Sunday, November 16, TRUU Community Steward Paul Dankers will reflect on how moments of loss, from the everyday to the profound, can become invitations to gratitude. Drawing from a deeply personal story of his first psilocybin experience and the surprising lessons found in both ordinary objects and popular culture, Paul explores how practicing gratitude in life’s small endings helps prepare us for larger farewells. Together, we’ll consider how grief and gratitude are woven inseparably, and how opening ourselves to both can transform the way we live — and the way we face life’s final chapters. Please note: this reflection includes discussion of psychedelics and may not be suitable for young children. As always, we offer engaging, age-appropriate programming for children in a separate space.
