About Us

Second City Country Dance Association (SCCDA) provides country/western social dancing and teaches all skill levels from beginning to advanced for the LGBTQIA+ community.

We offer both two-stepping and line dancing every Wednesday and Saturday from 7:00 – 11:00 pm with free lessons starting at 8:00 pm!

Charlie’s Chicago is our primary dance venue and together we build, strengthen and support the Chicagoland LGBTQIA+ country/western dance community. SCCDA is also the proud co-host of the BIGGEST little LGBTQIA+ hoedown in the Midwest: Hoedown In The Dunes.

Two-Step Lessons

Learn the basic two-step from our amazing instructors. Dancers with some experience can learn more complex turns and patterns. It’s fun, easy and we can get you dancing regardless of your skill level. You don’t even need a partner – we’ll provide one for you!
We welcome everyone 21 or older. You'll find a friendly and diverse crowd of men, women, trans, young, old, gay, bi, and straight friends of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Lessons are: FREE!

Line Dance Lessons

We offer line dance lessons for both beginners and for more experienced dancers.

Check our line dance library to review any classes you might have missed or request a line dance you always wanted to learn. There are step sheets and demo videos for almost everything Charlie's Chicago has taught over the past several years. You can search by dance name, song title, or artist.

Lessons are: FREE!
