There are hundreds of dance students within a 50-mile radius of Glenwood Springs, so we wanted to offer them something very special. We are especially excited about the master class for intermediate and advanced dancers.

I didn't want a period piece because embroidering is definitely not an art of the past, at least not yet.

It is a cruel, ironical art, photography.
