Dance Alive Madison

Celebrate diversity and community building through music and dance.
Dance Alive events welcome people of all ages, cultures, and abilities
in a smoke-free, drug-free, alcohol-free, and barrier-free environment.

Animated dancers  Let's face the music and dance!
Dance Alive! Seeks to create regular fun-filled and enriching socio-cultural events that will begin to turn:
  • Ignorance and misconceptions into understanding
  • Prejudice into acceptance and appreciation
  • Fear into trust and respect
  • Isolation into openness and connection.
Each Dance Alive! event is normally held on the first Saturday of each month, from 7 pm to 11 pm. Events also include some dance instruction. No admission is charged, but donations are accepted at the door.

Madison’s 29th Dance Alive!, a celebration of diversity and community through music and dance, will be held on Friday June 13 from 6:00 to 11:30 PM in room 240 at UW Union South, located at 227 N. Randall Ave.  Parking is available in Lots 15,17, 22 and 42 (see the UW campus map at http://www.map.wisc.edu).

Dancing begins at 7:00 PM with Ladies Must Swing, Madison's 18-piece all-women big band.  Before the music begins, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, a beginner swing dance lesson will be taught by John and Tracey, swing dance instructors from Jumptown, the UW swing dance club.  From 9:00 to 11:30 PM, UW Madison's Ballroom Dance Association DJ will play Ballroom, Latin, Swing, and Nightclub music for everyone's dancing pleasure.

Dance Alive! events welcome people of all ages, cultures, and abilities in a smoke-free, drug-free, alcohol-free, and barrier-free environment.  This dance is a collaborative creation of Dance Alive! volunteers and the UW Madison Ballroom Dance Association.

A $5 to $10 donation to support the musicians and instructors will be accepted at the door.  For more information, contact Sandy River at 241-7635. Information is also available at the Dance Alive! website at www.dancealivemadison.org.
