A new event series from Crystal Lake Park District will offer adults a chance to learn ballroom and line dancing as part of a social dance night featuring a different theme each month.

Each lesson will last about 15 minutes at a beginner level. Participants are asked to wear smooth-soled shoes and comfortable clothes.

A partner is not required and rotation during lessons will encourage meeting new dancers.

All sessions will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at Grand Oaks, 1401 W. Route 176 in Crystal Lake. Advance registration is required and each session costs $10 for Crystal Lake residents and $13 for nonresidents.

The social dance night themes will include:

• Las Vegas Night, featuring original and modern crooners, fox trot and swing dance, Jan. 20.
• Latin Night, featuring Latin and pop dance music, salsa and rumba, Feb. 18.
• Country Night, featuring country music, two step and cha cha, March 10.
• Blues Night, featuring the music of the Blues Brothers, slow blues and West Coast swing, April 22.
• Under the Stars Night, featuring the music of Elvis Presley, smooth ballroom, waltz and triple swing, May 19.
