Community Calendar

Open to all and FREE to attend! We believe that great things don’t happen in a vacuum, and we encourage everyone to venture out to network at Chance Meetings.

What does it take to go from commanding troops to commanding a boardroom? For veterans who've made the leap into entrepreneurship, the answer often comes down to the same skills that kept them sharp in uniform: discipline, adaptability, and a deep commitment to mission.

Join us for a Chance Meetings panel featuring four members of our community whose military careers have shaped the way they build, lead, and serve.

Join us for the unveiling and dedication of "Vantage Point," a new bronze sculpture by wildlife artist Ken Rowe, on October 8, 2026, at 11 a.m.

Commissioned by a Museum donor for the outdoor Sculpture Trail, "Vantage Point" depicts a resting mountain lion and will find its permanent home in the Amphitheater, just outside the Museum’s front entrance. The piece invites visitors to pause and take in the same quiet watchfulness that defines its subject. "Vantage Point" is the first large cat to join the Trail.

Artist Ken Rowe and the donor behind the commission will attend to share the story of the sculpture’s creation, with additional remarks from the Museum’s Chief Curator of Art, Dr. Kennis Forte, and Executive Director Steve Seamons.

This four-week Salsa Cubana Level 2 series is perfect for those who have completed the Intro course, any previous Salsa Cubana Level 1 course or beginner Salsa en Linea. It is also ideal for those with experience in basic salsa footwork and moves or who want to review their Cuban dance. This is now the first Cuban-specific level in our program, and I invite you to come enjoy great Salsa and Timba music while socializing, learning and moving!

We will review familiar footwork and apply it to the style of salsa known as Casino. The course focuses on essential moves that lay the foundation for your Cuban Salsa dancing, aiming to build confidence for both class and social dancing. All students with previous Salsa class experience are welcome and no partner is needed as we rotate throughout class.

Learn more at dwjh.org/workshops.

In this series, we build upon the universal moves from Intro to Salsa and the foundational moves from Level 2 to explore the building blocks of salsa. This is a great chance to enjoy the fruits of your learning as we put those very moves together to start forming new patterns.

We will also introduce dancing as a group in Rueda! We will teach some Rueda-specific moves as well as continue to maintain our practice with one-on-one social partner dancing. Plan on joining us to dance and move to great Latin and Cuban music while reviewing our skills, practicing combining patterns and trying new elements of Casino. Prior completion of Salsa Cubana Level 2 will help ensure your comfort and success in this series!
