Dance in the Parks brings FREE, live dance concerts straight to your neighborhood park! Our 18th and final season features seven professional dancers performing six world‑premiere contemporary works by Chicago choreographers. This family‑friendly, come‑as‑you‑are performance invites casual viewing, curious newcomers, and joyful dancing‑along from your lawn chair or blanket. Pack a picnic, grab a seat, and join us for an evening of vibrant, accessible dance in your park!

The works on this summer’s program are created by choreographers Jessica Deahr, Stephanie Cihlar, Rebecca Lemme, Tom Mattingly, Jackie Nowicki, and Paula Sousa. Our professional company will be joined by Youth Performance Partner: TranscenDance Studios
