ChicaGo Summer Dance

The Chicago Summer Dance Series is one of the highlights of my summer!During Summer Dance instructors share dance techniques that you'd likely pay $10-$30 per class to learn for FREE. Every year during the series I swing down to Grant Park after work and learn some new moves or sip some sangria and enjoy the crowd. Check out the upcoming dates and grab some friends and go.
