Chicago Dance Month’s Wave Wall


CHICAGO – See Chicago Dance, the dance industry’s nonprofit service organization,is proud to announce that its popular annual offering, Chicago Dance Month, returns this June. Now in its 12th year, Chicago Dance Month provides numerous opportunities for artists and companies to celebrate the myriad talents that make Chicago’s dance scene so strong. This summer celebration, featuring many free events, begins with See Chicago Dance hosting a preview of performers and performances with a Chicago Dance Month Kick-Off Celebration, Saturday, June 1 at 3 p.m. at Navy Pier, 600 E. Grand Ave. and includes “Wave Wall Moves” at Navy Pier throughout the summer. More information may be found at SeeChicagoDance.com.

 

“Chicago Dance Month is how See Chicago Dance introduces hundreds of dance lovers and casual fans to new performers and reconnects them with established audience favorites. It’s an amazing cross-section of Chicago’s incredible and dynamic dance community,” said See Chicago Dance Executive Director Julia Mayer. “Chicago Dance Month, and the programs we’ll present throughout the rest of the summer, offer people of all ages and skill levels countless opportunities–most of them free–to discover a new dance company or performer, a new dance style, a new culture. There is no place better than Chicago in the summer. And there is no better way to discover Chicago than through dance!”
