Fort Lupton Having Suds of Fun Summers events at the Library BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It was a Bubble Dance Party at the Fort Lupton Library on July 19. Over 150 families came to the event to cool down and have suds of fun. “It’s great to see our families come together again at the library to play and connect. The library is so important in our community and today’s turnout is evidence that our programs make a difference in their lives,” said Kate Davis, Youth and Family Services Librarian. This year the library is back hosting events for families and its readers bringing performer Ann Lincoln and her Foam Range program. She entertains at libraries across Colorado.

They teach ages three years old to adults with ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and preschool classes. Senior, also dancer, has a passion to teach kids, as well. “I love kids and I love to dance. The two together is just everything for me,” said Senior. “I wanted to provide a safe place for the kids and a home away from home. It’s somewhere where they could pursue their dreams, goals and their passion.” Senior said Rickman was a great
student. “From the very beginning, when I talked to her on the phone, I knew I was going to fall in love with her because she had the most amazing energy,” said Senior. Senior said Melissa told her she just want to go for it and knock the audience’s socks off. “’I want to have fun and I’m committed to this’ she said,” Senior claims. “So she just jumped right in and has been incredible.” Nick Kenny, executive director of Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, and professional dancer Brynlee Richardson with A Dance Place representing the Greeley clubhouse teen center dancing a hip hop ensemble.
