We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2nd annual Chicago Dancing Festival. The Chicago Dancing Festival began last summer with a free performance in the Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago’s Millennium Park on August 22. If you were a part of that magical night, then you will definitely remember the enthusiasm of the audience, along with the most amazing performances from some of our country’s leading dancers.
Still riding high from the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural event, we are very excited to share this year’s Festival with you. We have grown this summer’s Festival to include 11 different dance companies from all over the U.S. and three days of FREE programming, including two performances and an “Artists Up Close” event at the MCA. We hope this year’s Festival inspires you to experience more dance in Chicago, and that you will make the Chicago Dancing Festival a must for your 2009 summer plans. Enjoy and see you next summer!
Lar Lubovitch and Jay Franke
Founders and Artistic Directors

We are not from Chicago and know very little about artistic dancing, but these events stirred up an interest in dance and I’m sure we will look forward to attending more dance events in the future.
