Save the date--it's the 3rd annual Chicago Dancing Festival! Last year's was amazing, this year it should be even better. Free dance performance at Pritzker Pavilion with about 8 different companies from all over the country in a celebration of American dance. See website for full lineup.

Show starts at 7:30. Meet at 6:00 outside the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St. (Washington St. side), and we will depart for the Pavilion at 6:15. We will be sitting in the actual seats, not the lawn, in order to see, and it will definitely fill up quickly. Last year they had to turn people away, even from the lawn! Please call [masked] if you are running late, can't find us, or have questions, as we will not save seats unless we know for sure to expect you. Please do not call after show starts at 7:30. Eat beforehand or bring food with you, there is a cafe near the entrance to the Pavilion.

    Let me know if you would prefer to sit on the lawn next time and watch the jumbotron, so we don't have to scramble for seats and it is more dining- and conversation-friendly. Also we wouldn't have to get there as early. However, we wouldn't see the dancers up close and personal, so it's a tradeoff. Thanks!

    Addendum to message below-If you are late and they aren't letting people in seats, sit on the lawn--they should have a jumbotron. We will not meet people at the entrance. Please make every effort to arrive at the Cultural Center by 6:15 to make things easier for everyone. Sorry to belabor this but latecomers put a damper on the experience last year and hopefully this year with fewer or no latecomers we will have a new and improved Chicago Dancing Festival meetup. Thanks for your cooperation.

    The Chicago Dancing Festival can be a logistical nightmare if you arrive late, because it gets very crowded as I mentioned in the event description. For this reason it is important that you meet at the Cultural Center at the posted time and enter with the group. I am trying to avoid last year's chaos. Thank you!
