This fall, Community-Minded Dance is bringing the best of social dancing to Denver with Lindy Diversion 2013. The event will offer lindy hop, tap, jazz and blues dancing classes to every level of dancer, including those with two left feet, with award-winning international dance instructors. The weekend of October 18-20 will also feature live music and spectacular performances, celebrating the spirit and the history of American social dance.
