The Chicago Classic

The top professionals in West Coast Swing will assemble in the cosmopolitan city of Chicago to teach, compete, learn, and dance. The Chicago Classic is proud to be the only National Association of Swing Dance Events (NASDE) event in the Midwest and is also a sanctioned World Swing Dance Council (WSDC) member. We are known as a trend-setting event that aims to provide attendees with the best possible instruction from top champions from across the US and beyond.

While social dancing in our masterfully curated and immersive ballroom is always a highlight of the event, our featured selection of workshops and intensives will enhance and accelerate your dancing skills. This includes workshops presented by the immense talents of Thibault & Nicole Ramirez, Hugo Miguez & Stacy Kay, Sean McKeever & Alyssa Glanville, Glenn Ball & Emily Huang, Kenneth Rutland & Bryn Anderson, Joel Torgeson & Chantelle Pianetta, Jake Haning & Mackenzie Goodmanson, Conor McClure & Lisa Picard, Doug Silton, and Nino DiGiulio. In addition to all the dancing, our host hotel is conveniently located a short walk from Woodfield Mall, one of Chicago’s premier shopping and dining destinations. The city’s downtown area, with its many attractions and the natural beauty of Lake Michigan, is just a 30-minute drive away or short train ride. Take advantage of all that this amazing city has to offer while you’re here for the Chicago Classic.
