Caribou Coffee (Galleria) - Thursday Early-Bird Dance
Address: 1916 Sardis Rd N, Charlotte, NC 28270
Floor: Smooth ceramic tile
Take Note: Free parking is limited right in front of Caribou. You may need to park in one of the other nearby lots. Nearby restaurants include Little Caesar’s, Steak ‘N’ Shake, Zaxby’s, Taco Bell, Cookout, and Wendy’s. Also by Wal-Mart.
This is our favorite coffeeshop, and they’ve always been so supportive of our dances! Chill out with a cup of joe, relax, and catch up with old friends, plus get some dancing in! What could be better than coffee and dancing together? The intimate setting is fun and cozy.
Chantilly Hall – Main Dances on Friday and Saturday
Address: 2101 Shenandoah Ave, Charlotte, NC 28205
Floor: Hardwood
Take Note: This venue is located in a neighborhood, so please be mindful of driving speed and noise. Free parking along street. Observe all posted parking / no parking signs along the streets. Bathroom facilities are relatively limited in this venue.
Another regular venue for Charlotte dances.
Amelie’s Annex – Friday Late Night
Address: 3128 The Plaza Rd, Charlotte, NC 28205
Floor: Small wood dance floor in center of room; smooth ceramic tile throughout.
Take Note: If you’ve ever been to Amelie’s French Bakery in NoDa, this is NOT the same place. It is, however, owned by the same people and is nearby. (If you’re a Charlotte local, this is the old Charleston House Restaurant.) Be on the lookout for a mural painted on the side of the building. Ample free parking on side of venue.
This is a cozy, intimate, fun, eclectic space that is new to the area. With its French charm and unique light fixtures and decorations, we thought it was perfect for a late night event. While there isn’t a separate Blues room, we’ll be sure our DJs know to mix up the music styles throughout the night.
Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts & Culture - Saturday Day Dance
Address: 551 S. Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28202 (in Uptown Charlotte)
Floor: Hardwood – ** NO STREET SHOES ALLOWED ON THIS FLOOR!! Dance shoes only. We will check!**
Take Note: Because the space is in Uptown, you will need to plan to pay for parking. More information about where to park and costs coming soon…
This amazing facility is located right in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. We are thrilled to be working with the Gantt Center on QCLX! Our event will take place in a gorgeous audiovisual space with breathtaking hardwood floors. Please do NOT wear anything but dance shoes in this space – no street shoes!! Be sure to visit the museum while you’re there (admission NOT included in your weekend pass). Visit their Website for more info.
Crews Road Rec Center – Saturday Late Night
Address: 1201 Crews Road, Matthews, NC 28105
Floor: Hardwood
Take Note: This venue can be a bit tricky to find in the dark. Be on the lookout for the brown Parks & Rec signs, and our swing dance signs, along the roadway. Ample free parking available. We’ll have separate Lindy and Blues rooms in this venue.
Home to Lovin’ Lindy’s weekly Friday Night Swing Dance and classes. Attendees at QCLX 2010 raved about this space….but then again, maybe it was the pancakes and free coffee. We’ll please you with the same again this year!
Stumptown Park – Sunday Day Dance
Address: 120 S. Trade Street, Matthews, NC 28105
Floor: Rough wood stage
Take Note: Although covered, this dance will take place on an outdoor stage. Our plan at this point is to hold the dance rain or shine. We will also have the Sunday cookout lunch here. Parking may be difficult. More info coming soon about where to park…
Located in the heart of downtown historic Matthews, this park is often used for festivals and events in town. The park includes a covered, wood stage and a grassy area. Plus, we’ll be able to have our cookout here. Enjoy the town!
