August in Madison means the return of everyone’s favorite rooftop community dance party: Dane Dances. Each week features DJ Francis Medrano at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. along with free dance lessons, which will be put to immediate use thanks to the band lineup, this week featuring Madison's own disco superstars VO5 and Illinois show band BBI, that can play just about anything from Elvis to Kiss to The Weeknd. Food and drink will be available at 5 p.m. from Lake Vista Cafe, La Taguara, Melly Mell’s Soul Food and TLC Catering. After a pair of rain cancellations in 2022, an indoor location was secured this year (this week moving to the Alliant Center if it rains; for weather updates, call 608-261-4094). Watch for updates at danedances.org.
