It is that time of year again—Dance-Pairs Chicago competition is taking over the Fox Valley Ice Arena!

For those that do not know, ice dancing is a form of ice skating which takes much of its components from ballroom dancing. The music must adhere to a specific dance style and skaters must dance to the beat of the music instead of the rhythm, as is common in other skating.
Admission to the competition is free on Friday and $5 on Saturday and Sunday.

If you are looking for a relaxing way to spend the weekend, come out and support out skaters!!
