Lively two-steps and lyrical waltzes are at the core of Cajun dance music.  Through generations, Cajuns of all ages have danced and made their music and dance part of the social fabric of their culture and heritage.  You can dance any night of the week at any one of many dance halls in Southwest Louisiana, from Eunice to Iota, and from Mamou to Lafayette!  Friendly, social people will greet you and talk with you and even give you a dance lesson or two. 

Come to The Midway Ramblers First Friday Cajun dances, held October through May, and you’ll think you’ve been transported to a Cajun dance hall alive with music and friendly atmosphere.   Friends and guests dance and socialize.  We do a little dance instruction to the two-step, waltz, and even attempt the Cajun jitterbug and zydeco steps.  Hot stuff!! All the more to enjoy the experience, and you don’t need to come with a partner.  Hey, cher, it’s custom in Cajun country for everybody to dance with everybody else!  And come casual, the better to move about on the dance floor.  Don’t dance?  Come anyway and enjoy some of the best authentic Cajun and zydeco music in Chicago!
