Very nice dance floor, good dance music, friendly dancers. This was West Coast Swing night.

This is one of my Happy Places. It’s so good to be back after 2 years of COVID! I love the variety of dances they offer & the dance community is so much fun.

Friday Lindy Hop at the Turn is a great time. Friendly dancers, great instructors, lovely old historical building.

The turn is a marvelous, non-profit community-run place for social dancing. Nice big dance floor and lots of excellent teaching. Great West Coast Swing, tango, country, Lindy Hop and other dances.

Great place to dance. Excellent dance floor.

Fun place for dancing with a fantastic floor

Excellent dance floor and ambiance. Appreciate efforts to keep floor clean (i.e., no street grime) and covid vaccination requirement.

Wow this place looks amazing! A historical relic among the modern architecture adding color and mystery to the diverse culture that is Denver city!Or so I thought...It's a shame I don't get to enjoy or share that passion for culture and movement as this location's website implys.I had carefully prepared my COVID-19 record card and waiver (that was provided on their website as of 7/13/21) regarding dancing in close quarters.I was ready to sign and sign up a day ahead as I didn't have my dance attire as of yet.There was no indication that this "club" was one of those "entery by invite only" type of clubs. But they do a great job of defining "club" here once you step in.A receptionist will do her very best to squint in your general direction and let out a disparing sigh that you aren't one of their lovely club members.If you dare approach all requests for applying or signing up for future classes are not possible for today...In advance...or maybe possibly the dance instructor can sign you in on the day you'd like to attend.Thank you for defining a new "club" for me where all who have been asked to come are welcome to stay, and those that dare to ask are artfully told to GO AWAY.If it were just a bad day from the receptionist I wouldn't have been so sure.But the club members helped me understand I'd intruded on "their" club by cutting in front of me, whispering to their partners as they walked in to sit glancing back in my general direction as if to check if the unheard of had actually happened, and some even asked me to please step back in line with grins of amusementIt was clear all had read the fine print.This is a "club" for those who you know. So if somone you know goes there sure, ask them about it and get invited.But if you like music and dancing and finally getting a chance to practice. If you simply enjoy a more formal dancing style and wish to test your feet at it neat. However leave this "club" alone because all they have eyes for are who they know.I'll go elsewhere because now I know.A wonderfully aweful experience (-5 stars if I could). I hope things get better and more inclusive in the future. But who knows...

A classic dancehall with a great community and excellent teachers. A really fun night out!

An old dance ballroom from the 1910's, still going. Frequent swing dances, dance clubs meet here.
