THE PERRY MANSFIELD DANCE CENTER AND STEAMBOAT SPRINGS:
Perry Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp is spectacularly located on 75 acres of beautiful countryside, looking up at the continental divide. Three magnificent studios, with incomparable views and a theatre. Only 2 miles away are Strawberry Hot Springs where you can soak in the healing mineral water under a crystal clear sky and watch for shooting stars. The town of Steamboat Springs is only a mile away and has shops, restaurants, a weekly rodeo, and itÕs own set of modern, developed Hot Springs. Minutes from town you can also horseback ride, hike and golf!

Our caterer, award-winning Jimmy's of Aspen, is dedicated to providing fine, unpretentious, American cuisine, using only the freshest and organic products. Jimmy himself is a keen tango and salsa dancer, look out for him on the floor!
