Empowering Residents to Plant & Promote Native Coloradoscapes for a Climate-resilient Future!

Kristin Laux Wild Ones Front Range

Kristin moved to Denver in 1999. The arid climate here was a bit of a shock coming from Oregon, but she quickly realized that the landscape just has a different kind of beauty in dry climates. When she and her husband bought their house in 2012, they landscaped the front and back yards with xeric practices in mind to save water but had no awareness of the benefits of native plants. Attending the 2022 WOFR plant and seed swaps opened her eyes to the magic of creating native plant habitats in her own yard. All of the backyard and front yard grass has been replaced with native plants. Kristin enjoys watching and learning about the many different plants, birds, and bugs that call her yard home now. Kristin’s other passion is animal welfare, and she has fostered hundreds of kittens, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and dogs over the past 10 years. Kristin enjoys scuba diving in warm water all over the world when she takes vacations from her job as the Chief Financial Officer at a Colorado nonprofit.

Dancin' Dreams

6:00 PM

Recital

Dancin' Dreams

Beginning her dance education at a young age, Ms. Karen always felt a special connection to dance. Unlike other dancers her age, she didn't aspire for a professional career in dance. Instead, Karen found value in the friendships she built, the core values dance taught her, and forever having an outlet to express herself. After having her daughter, Loray, Karen became passionate about passing down these values to young dancers around the Denver area. In 2007, Karen opened her first Dancin' Dreams location in Southeast Denver. The studio became a home for her daughter, friends, and new faces to share their passion of dance together. Dancin' Dreams grew from one small studio room to two multi-room locations in the Denver area.

Fast forward 18 years, Loray and Karen now manage both locations together & have developed a special family bond through running the business together. Loray moved to Florida in mid-2025, and is working remotely for the Colorado location as well as working towards opening her own Dancin' Dreams in Florida.

Karen & Loray are passionate about teaching great technique, but their priority has always been to instill the love of dance in youth & adults in every class.
