since 1975...

The Pearl Denver, formerly known as “The Mercury Cafe,” is a welcoming source of art, joy, and community, located in the heart of downtown Denver.  In addition to their locally-sourced, organic food, The Pearl also offers a wide variety of entertainment. From poetry slams, to Go Club, to live music, and dancing nearly every night of the week, there's always something happening in Denver's bohemian jewel.

Marilyn Megenity, the creator of the original Mercury Cafe, had a passion and support for the arts that continue to this day. Because of her and the subsequent owners, we have been able to hold the majority of our classes and dances here for the past 20 years! The Pearl/Merc is forever our dance home, and it can be yours too.

Our big nights are Tuesdays and Sundays... come check them out!
