Celebrating in Woodlawn

Where Woodlawn hosts use dance floors & staging

Woodlawn runs along Cottage Grove and 63rd Street, between the Midway Plaisance on the north and Jackson Park on the east side. The neighborhood has a rich cultural history, a strong tradition of civic organizing and a mix of greystones, courtyard buildings and new construction. Its proximity to the University of Chicago brings graduation parties and reunions each spring. The area also has a long tradition of faith-based organizing, and church events here often double as community meetings.

Jackson Park, with its lagoons, Wooded Island and lakefront, is a major public draw, and the Midway Plaisance's long, green stretch is popular for picnics and cultural events. The Green Line's 63rd and Cottage Grove stop and the Metra Electric make transit access easy. Churches, from large congregations to storefront ministries, anchor many of the area's gatherings. Nearby Hyde Park and the university campus add a steady pulse of reunions and graduation events through May and June.

  • Jackson Park and the Midway

    Large public parks for picnics and gatherings; permits go through the Chicago Park District.

    Dance floors & staging here: Parks rarely allow a dance floor without a pavilion or permit, so check the rules before planning dancing on grass.

  • Church halls

    Congregations host anniversaries, repasts and community dinners.

    Dance floors & staging here: Most halls already have a hard floor; rent a white or black floor only for the look, or a small stage for the band.

  • Greystone and courtyard homes

    Private homes host showers, birthdays and graduation parties.

    Dance floors & staging here: A dance floor on grass needs a level subfloor first, which adds to the price. A patio or driveway is often the cheapest base.

  • Community and event centers

    Local halls host fundraisers, reunions and cultural events.

    Dance floors & staging here: Most halls already have a hard floor; rent a white or black floor only for the look, or a small stage for the band.

How to plan

Getting dance floor rentals right

  1. 01

    Who dances

    Assume 30-50% of guests are on the floor at peak.

  2. 02

    Square footage

    Give each dancer about 3-4.5 sq ft: 15x15 for 150 guests, 18x18 for 200+.

  3. 03

    Stage

    A 8x12 to 12x16 stage at 16-24" high fits a band; DJs usually need only a table.
