What we’re about

Ethnic Dance Chicago (EDC) is a multi-ethnic, multi-generational community of people who enjoy the dances, music, cuisines and cultures of many countries and ethnic groups from around the world.

As our motto goes, we regard "Dancing As A Second Language".

  • Ethnic Folk Dance a great social mixer and aerobic workout.
  • Using the media of ethnic dance and ethnic music, we provide participants with powerful, memorable and enriching experiences and connections that reach far beyond the scope of many other social dance forms and contribute to the creativity, cultural awareness, social and cultural, physical, and personal and professional development of the community.
  • This group is for lovers of ethnic folk dance and ethnic folk music.
