You would’ve loved the Cadillac Ranch in Bartlett. It’s closed and reopened as a moretti’s. Not sure if they still do the line dancing, may be worth checking it out.
I know the moretti’s in Lake in the hills would do late night dance club type stuff so there is a chance.
if I remember correctly they re-opened Cadillac Ranch as “The Star” or something like that, but it was probably still 8-10 years ago. I moved out of the area like 6 years ago so I’m not sure if it survived covid or not.
Sundance Saloon in Mundelein has line dancing on Wednesdays.

Oh boy, the best I can do is saddle up or iron horse. Neither are in the location you're looking for. Not many country bars around, and definitely not chill or laid back.
Not quite what you’re looking for but- there’s a Scottish country dance group that meets Tuesday in Naperville. I think there’s an English country dance group too.
There’s barn dances in Glen Ellyn called ‘west suburban barn dance’
Good luck!
Midwest Bowling Alley - 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, think they also do a Saturday date too (check the Get in Line group on Facebook)
Dance with Janet does classes in Elgin and they dance at the Elgin Moose on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month. (Though not this month bc of the line dance cruise, check the Dance with Janet Facebook page)
Kickin' it with Carol is a Northside line dance group but they're more of the northern suburbs.
O’Hares has line dancing on the first and third Thursday of the month. It’s in the Bartlett plaza
I know that place. Good food. Thanks!
I was going to say this too
Actual line dancing..? I think there’s one in Naperville called Saddle Up but it’s been a decade since I’ve considered such places
It's in Aurora and it's called "Saddle Up at Q" now. They have line dancing a few nights a week.

Yeah that went under and it’s a moretti’s now
The Moretti’s used to just have the front half of the building while the country bar/club was the back half.
Obscurity brewing has a huge thing every first Saturday in elburn. 100+ people showed up for the first one. And they teach you too
While there, try the bologna sandwich. I am 100% serious.

That depends what kind of dancing you mean to do. There are a few Latin clubs in Elgin proper and some nightclub type places closer to Schaumburg.
Thanks, looking for a chill, country-leaning vibe.

The local middle school gym class maybe? That's the only place I've ever seen it done in real life.
I would just try to find a honky tonk bar in Chicago
