Wamsley Elementary School had some visitors from far away – performers from the Aspen Dance Connection. Colorado State University sent some of their dance majors to perform at some elementary schools in Garfield County through the Aspen Dance Connection and entertained multiple schools and lots of students for a couple hours out of the day to show what dancing can be and how fun it is.
