It's Thursday, Let's Dance!

Come on out to the only outdoor dance floor north of Chicago! Thursdays, July 14 - August 18, 2011, 6pm lesson, 7pm live music!

Now in its twelfth year in 2011, It's Thursday, Let's Dance! will be heating up downtown Evanston on six consecutive Thursday nights: July 14, July 21, July 28, August 4, August 11 & August 18. Each week, enjoy dancing to a live band and instruction with a professional dance teacher. Join us at the conveniently located 909 Davis St. Plaza, the intersection of Maple Avenue and Church Street, at the Davis St. Metra stop.  Look for the dance party between American Apparel and Chef’s Station’s patio.

Dance instruction begins at 6:00 p.m. and the band plays for your dancing or listening pleasure from 7:00-9:00p.m. Each week features a different dance style: R&B, Latin, Blues, Big Band, and rock/pop classics.
