Dance Colorado moves to new location

Ballroom studio Dance Colorado has moved to 612 S. Tejon Street after 15 years in Old Colorado City and will have a grand opening celebration Nov. 11 to show off the much larger digs. The main Cyd Charisse Ballroom has 2,400 square feet and with the adjacent Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire ballrooms there is a total of 4,200 square feet, more than double the space Brad and Lori Ackerman had at their former location at 2506 W. Colorado Ave. The grand opening at Dance Colorado (www.dancecolorado.net) will be in two parts with the 10 a.m.-4 p.m. session to feature free group lessons, dance demonstrations and a giveaway of group and private lesson packages. At 7:30-10:30 p.m. there will be professional and amateur dance demonstrations along with a semi-formal dance with a live band.
