The annual SummerDance festival brings people of all ages and skill levels together on open-air dance floors in Chicago’s scenic parks for an evening of live music and dancing. Come for free lessons from a pro dancer or simply sit back and enjoy the music.
All summer long, Chicago SummerDance takes place in Grant Park, as well as on select dates in neighborhood parks across the city with SummerDance In The Parks. Dance styles include waltz, tango, kizomba, swing, salsa, cha-cha, flamenco, and so much more.
