The Chicago Latino Dance Festival will be held over 4 dates in September and October. We have prepared a full color program book so you don’t miss a single thing! Paper copies of this booklet will be available at any of the events the ILCC has on its upcoming event calendar from now until October 12th. As an added convenience we have shared a digital copy here for you to download, or consult online, via your phone or tablet. Simply click on the image of the booklet or the button below it to access the program book. We are excited to share the Latino Dance Arts of Chicago in four different venues over the period of 4 weekends. Come see all that Chicago Latino Dancers are doing to represent their culture and communities.
Did we mention these events are completely FREE? We do ask you take a moment to reserve a seat via our event page on this website. You can access it through each of the dates listed below.
“There is no doubt that Chicago is a city of festivals. There is one for every neighborhood, for every artistic expression. And yet there are some gaps. The Chicago Latino Dance Festival was created to address one of those gaps: a showcase for the many styles of dance you will find in Latin America and Spain. Most of the groups performing in our Festival work at a community level. Others represent countries that sometimes are left out of our conversations about Latin America. They all deserve a spotlight of their own. Just like with our film festival, we invite audiences to join us in this colorful journey throughout the Latino diaspora,”
Pepe Vargas,
Executive Director
