Drumming and Dancing

Our community of drummers and dancers is quite strong. Throughout Colorado, there are numerous people who share our interest in that primal connection brought on by the sound of a drum. Every week, circles form in people's back yards, coffee shops, community centers, and in our beautiful mountains. A variety of cultures, religions, and styles come together in our dancing, chanting, and drumming.

For years, many of us have worked to bring us together whenever and however possible. We've organized drum circles, workshops, concerts, and other such parties. You've undoubtedly received some of these announcements calling us together for these very magical experiences. Email lists have quickly become the most effective avenue to bring so many like-minded folks together.

We invite anyone interested in learning, exploring, or organizing these magical gatherings to connect with us and this diverse community.

Announcements Online
