Grab your explorer hat and head out on an art adventure! You’ll create art inspired by wild animals from forests, rivers, mountains, and meadows—think bears, foxes, owls, deer, fish, and more. Paint big animal shapes, collage furry and feathery textures, build masks and puppets, and sculpt tiny creatures with clay. You’ll stamp tracks, make habitat scenes, and use bright colors to bring your wildlife discoveries to life. Get ready to make a little mess, try new materials, and take home a whole collection of wild masterpieces!

Grades 2 – 4
A collaboration with Aspen Science Center – held at the Art Base

Dive into a week of messy experiments and masterpiece-making! You’ll mix art and science as you explore anatomy and biology, create color-chemistry art (including chromatography), engineer creative builds, and make projects inspired by fossils, space, and planets. Get ready to test, tinker, splash, and discover—then head home with a stack of amazing creations.

After-school classes are a fun and welcoming space where elementary students can explore their creativity and imagination. Students will experiment with drawing, painting, collage, and mixed media while learning basic art skills through hands-on projects and playful exploration. Emphasis is placed on creativity, curiosity, and self-expression rather than perfection, helping young artists build confidence and enjoy the process of making art. In a supportive and encouraging environment, students will make new friends, try new materials, and discover the joy of creating something uniquely their own.

Get ready for Zumba with Andrea Orrego

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.

At its core, Zumba is about intuitive dance expression. Rather than focusing on strict choreography or technical breakdowns, the structure of a Zumba class mirrors the architecture of music itself — simple, repeatable patterns tied to the chorus, verses, and bridges of each song. This approach allows dancers to anticipate transitions naturally, freeing them from the constraints of counting steps and encouraging a deeper, more instinctive relationship with rhythm.

Zumba invites a profound reconnection to the joy of embodied movement: a space where strength meets sensuality, sweat becomes celebration, and music becomes a global language that transcends borders.
For seasoned dancers, Zumba offers a refreshing invitation to return to the essence of why we dance — not for perfection, but for expression, connection, and exhilaration. It is a journey through cultures, rhythms, and emotions, all channeled through the most ancient instrument we possess: our own bodies.

All dance levels welcome!
