Kick Up Your Boots: Country Dance Lessons at Ballroom Dance Chicago

Looking to bring a little honky-tonk to your dance moves? Whether you dream of gliding across the floor at Charlie’s, swinging at Carol’s Pub, or two-stepping Friday evening at the Empty Bottle, Ballroom Dance Chicago is the perfect place to get started with country dance.

Our Country Dance Series meets every Wednesday at 7:45pm in our Lakeview studio. Each month features a different country style—so you can build your skills one step at a time or jump in whenever you’re ready. Here’s what’s coming up:

  • September 2025: Country Two Step

  • October 2025: Country Shuffle

  • November 2025: Country Swing

  • December 2025: Country Waltz

Come solo or bring a partner—either way, we rotate partners in class so you’ll have a chance to dance with everyone. Each class teaches a new pattern, so even if you can only make it occasionally, you’ll still be able to jump in and start dancing right away. Of course, the more you come, the more confident and versatile you’ll become on the dance floor.

Bonus this month: On Saturday, September 27, we’re hosting a 4th Saturday Social featuring a Country Two Step mini-lesson and an open dance party! We'll spin plenty of country tunes alongside our usual mix of ballroom, swing, and Latin favorites, giving you the perfect chance to show off what you've learned.

Ready to trade in your city shoes for some cowboy boots (figuratively or literally)?

We’ll see you on the dance floor.
