Join Janet of Dance With Janet, along with other instructors from the Midwest, as we bring Country Couples & Line Dancing Together for a 3-DAY DANCE PARTY!
2024’s Midwest Country Dance Party was such a hit that we’ll be returning May 29th – June 1st, 2025 to the lovely HOLIDAY INN – CRYSTAL LAKE, IL on Rt. 31, twenty minutes north of I-90 (about forty-five minutes from O’Hare Airport & ninety from Midway). You’ll never know you’re on a main road once you’re inside; the recently remodeled hotel overlooks a small lake surrounded by trees. Shopping and restaurants are plentiful within a few minutes’ drive east or west on nearby Rte. 14. Plan to stay the weekend to learn, dance, party, and support our host hotel! Our room block of $124/night, expires 5/3, so call 815.477.7000 (Press 3 when prompted, you must mention group code MCP to receive the group rate).

He’ll play to line dancers AND couples dancers in the same room – two floors, two types of dancing, to one song (get creative, couples!! You can dance to line dance songs too).
