Chicago dance spot for baby boomers?
Does anyone know of a good dance/bar for a couple in their 50's? We love to dance to anything from Big Band to the 70's...but these spots are hard to find; everything I've found plays jazz or hip-hop, etc. We will be downtown Chicago (Courtyard Marriott-Magnificent Mile) in January without a car.
Thanks...
Thanks...

I don't know myself, but my cousins (60's) go all the time as they have an apartment downtown.

Take a look at the Green Dolphin on N. Ashland, if you like jazz. You'd need to cab it there from your hotel.
I know that the Hangge Uppe on Elm has 50s-90s music but I haven't been there in so long that I can't tell you what the crowd is like now. Sorry can't be of more help with that one.

Hi WanderWoman,
Yes! Pls. pick thru Dancing In Chicago to choose from a long list of possibilities.
Ball room dancing is great fun, good excersize, and a chance to wear your glitteriest dress!
Have fun!

WanderWoman,
For salsa, check out Green Dolphin Street on Tuesday night, or Buzz on Wednesday night. For swing, I believe Green Mill has it on Thursday nights. I don't know much about ballroom and such, but the others are right--stay away from worthless places like Hangge Uppe.
