The Global Dance Party is a new series on Fridays that offers an exciting opportunity for the Old Town School community to experiment with dance styles from around the globe. Each night will feature a dance class at 8:30 PM followed by two hours of dance music by dance bands and DJs.

Sing and dance along to the Central and West African soukous, Rumba and other musical delights from the multi-racial Occidental Brothers Dance Band International.

"Notwithstanding the party-time feeling of this music, however, the Occidentals deal in meticulously conceived, tightly arranged, crisply articulated arrangements. This is not a band that gets together to riff freely, in other words. The precision of their playing, the pinpoint accuracy of their cues and the careful structuring of their songs affirm that they leave very little to chance — at least in ensemble passages." - Chicago Tribune

DJ David Chavez of Sound Culture Chicago will be spinning during breaks.
