Chicago Winter Dance: Dancing

Join the party at Jay Pritzker Pavilion this February and dance like no one's watching! Dance in a variety of styles in the warmth of the Pritzker Pavilion stage, with the stunning wintry cityscape as a backdrop beyond the retractable glass doors. Those strolling past outside are given a taste of the fun and revelry onstage by music broadcast over the speakers on the Great Lawn. Dancing is preceded by one-hour lessons given by professional instructors.
