...do you like it? Why or why not? What would you say to someone who was considering moving there? What are the area's pros and cons, in your opinion?
I'm very done with the east coast (have lived there almost all my life) and am definitely moving SOMEWHERE at the end of the year. I've been going back and forth between Denver and San Francisco. On one hand I know way more about SF because I lived there briefly before, and I've never been to Denver in my life. But I get the impression it kind of has a similar social/cultural climate to SF (and is less expensive). And it seems to be a good artsy place for performing-arts dorks like myself.That's one thing that drives me insane about where I am now--a complete lack of real opportunities in that area.
But these are just impressions. And I could be totally wrong. And I also get the impression that Denver is freezing cold.I could visit the city, and probably will, but what I would get is an idea of Denver from a visitor's perspective, which is usually totally different from an "I live here" perspective. If that makes sense. It's like visiting a club as a customer before you audition--you'll get a basic general idea, but things can look totally different when you're on the inside.
And...especially interested in feedback from dancers working in the Denver area. What's the SC scene like there? General contact levels in the (upscale) clubs? How's the money; is it considered a good city to dance in? Are they ridiculously over-saturated with clubs and/or dancers? etc, etc, etc. I will definitely do a search in club chat, but figured it won't hurt to ask here, esp since I'm asking for a general vibe of the whole SC scene in general, as well as the usual "which clubs should I check out in Denver?" things that you'd find in CC.
So basically..if anyone has a few minutes to spill your brains out about all things Denver-related, I would greatly appreciate it and would love you forever.
I just need to make a freaking decision on where to move and actually get on with it; I've been thinking and re-thinking and over-thinking about this for way too long. And of course I'm doing other research for myself too, but hey...SW has been a valuable resource more than once.![]()

I still haven't entirely made a decision, but I am leaning towards Denver. I figure if I get there and give it a chance and don't like it, SF's only a 24-hour drive away.
