Celebrating Our 12th Season!

Dane Dances! is one of Madison’s most popular summertime events! Our summer music concert series attracts an average of 3,000 attendees on the Monona Terrace Rooftop every Friday evening in August.

The bands that perform are popular, high-energy, local and regional bands. The music is danceable and as diverse as the people who come to enjoy the events. Funk, Latin, R&B, Jazz, Hip Hop and Reggae are all in the mix.

Thousands of people come — young, old, single, in couples or with families. We welcome anyone who likes dancing, excellent music and ethnic food. You don’t even have to dance, just enjoy meeting new people and having fun together.

Dane Dances! believes in keeping these events FREE to the public, allowing us to reach out to people of diverse backgrounds. In order to keep these events FREE, we need your help. Please join us and get involved with Dane Dances!
