Chicago X Dance Swing Club
Hello Friends,
It is hard to believe that ten years ago I started X Dance. I have had so much fun and made so many great friends,
not to mention all of the great dances! I started X Dance as a way to "give back" to a community that had given me so much.
I wanted to share my passion and love of West Coast Swing with others. It started with an idea and with the help of some fabulous people it was a success.

My wife Laurie has been there since the beginning and has helped me in every aspect of X Dance.
Over the last two years, our lives have taken some unexpected turns, some wonderful and some devastating.
With these transitions in our personal lives we have had to refocus and make new plans for our future.
After a lot of thought we have come to the decision to shut down X Dance.
This decision has not been an easy one but we feel it is the right thing to do at this point in our lives.
X Dance will not be gone forever but we will be taking a break to focus on Family, Becker Logistics, and The Chicago Classic.
