Clinard Dance is a dance group in Chicago offering workshops and performances.

Clinard Dance is a community-based dance group based in Chicago that offers a variety of educational workshops, performances, and community programming. The group recently returned to the Old Town School of Folk Music for World Music Wednesday, featuring flamenco and jazz explorations with live accompaniment by guitarist Andrea Salcedo and singers Marfil Keller Alema and Dorota Filipiuk. Clinard Dance also hosts a two-day fall workshop dedicated to strengthening flamenco technique and understanding Bulerias structure and improvisation, covering posture, alignment, footwork, and musical precision. Classes are held at 1729 S. Halsted in Chicago, with specific sessions scheduled for late October and early December. In addition to their educational offerings, the group celebrates community achievements, such as the 2025 3Arts Award received by Wendy Clinard. Clinard Dance maintains a studio in the Pilsen neighborhood that is currently undergoing a transformation guided by community-based research to ensure continued accessibility. The group welcomes inquiries from organizations, schools, and performing arts centers interested in bringing their educational work to their institutions. They also encourage donations to support their operating costs and the continuation of their fine programs and performances.
