Dance Depot Line-up Announced for The 20th Annual City Stages

Dance instruction and dance sets, all to fabulous live music

 

Okay, time for a multiple choice pop quiz.

Dance Depot is:

a) a dancer's paradise.

b) a great place to see festival acts in an intimate setting.

c) the perfect spot to take a festival break without missing out on great music.

d) all of the above.

You guessed it.

With a specially built dance floor that's the size of a small house, live music from some of the tightest dance bands on planet Earth and big box fans to keep the breezes blowing, it's no wonder dancers and non-dancers love this part of City Stages.

Or, why friends and family choose it as a great place to meet, get in the shade and regroup while enjoying some of the best music anywhere on the festival site.

So, come by for dance instruction, then perfect your new moves with a set of music tailor made for the purpose. Unless, of course, you just want to chill for a minute instead.

Here's your Dance Depot line-up for the 20th Annual City Stages.
