So you think you can't dance? Nonsense! Get ready to kick up your heels and learn a few new moves as the 13th annual Chicago Summer Dance Festival kicks off this Thursday, June 11 in Grant Park with the music of Bandoleros. For 11 weeks, Grant Park will sponsor free dance lessons followed by two hours of free outdoor dancing to some of the city's best live music. The lessons and dancing take place in the Spirit of Music Garden in Grant Park on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 6:00pm until 9:30 pm and on Sundays between 4pm and 7pm. Thursdays feature world music, while Fridays and Saturdays include jazz, latin, country, and funk. On Sunday afternoons all you ballroom dancers can polish your steps to the tunes of big band music.
