It's Thursday, Let's Dance!

Come on out to the only outdoor dance floor north of downtown Chicago! 

Now in its eleventh year, It's Thursday, Let's Dance! will be heating up downtown Evanston on six consecutive Thursday nights: July 15, July 22, July 29, August 5, August 12 & August 19.  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, oldies, Big Band, and rock/pop classics.

This is a free event and all ages are welcome!
