Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) announced the full lineup for “SummerDance in Place,” a new citywide, at-home version of the summertime tradition, Chicago SummerDance. Presented by DCASE with the Chicago Park District, the reimagined series is filmed in Millennium Park and at Chicago Park district locations, featuring skyline views and iconic imagery that residents have been missing. Chicagoans are encouraged to plan smaller, socially-distant dance parties in their homes and backyards, on front porches and elsewhere with up to 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors — and connect via the broadcast or social media. Following the traditional SummerDance model, each program will start with a 30-minute dance lesson, followed by 60 minutes of music performed by local artists. Dance and music styles include House, salsa, swing, Bollywood and more every Wednesday in July at 5:30 p.m. There will be a special Fourth of July edition on Saturday, July 4 at 5 p.m. at youtube.com/ChicagoDCASE. For more information, visit ChicagoSummerDance.org and join the conversation on social media using #ChicagoSummerDance.
