What is Prairie Land Dance Club?

Prairie Land is a country western dance club and has been located in Illiopolis IL since the late 1980's.  You will love the 4,000 sq ft floating hardwood dance floor at Prairie Land along with additional space for ample seating for all.  Click on the "Photos" page (above) to see pictures of the facility!  Coffee, bottled water and soda are available along with popcorn, chips, candy and cookies.

Parking is available on-site for a large number of cars.  If the lot is full, please park on the residential streets on either side of the building.  Do not park in resident's driveways, or in the alley.  If parking becomes more of a problem, we will provide off-site parking at the church that is just down the street.

Prairie Land  'Rules of the Road'

Dance Floor Etiquette - Even a 4,000 sq ft dance floor gets full when several styles of dance are going on at the same time, so we follow Dance Floor Etiquette at Prairie Land.  Line dancers and other stationary dance styles are to be in the center of the floor leaving room for couples to dance by, flow dances are around the inner circle and lead & follow styles are around the outer circle.   There's plenty of room for everyone when we keep these guidelines in mind at all times.  Thanks for your cooperation!
Alcohol Policy  - No alcohol is permitted on Prairie Land property at any time due to insurance restrictions.  This includes the club and the parking lot.
Smoking Policy - Smoking is no longer permitted at the club in compliance with the Illinois Smoke Free Act that takes effect January 1st, 2008.

According to our bylaws, “club members’ common objective in belonging to the club will be directed toward social, recreational pleasure, and the advancement of the art of country western dancing and will practice proper dance floor etiquette at all times.  Members are encouraged to have a working knowledge of the basic techniques of country western dance, such as two-step, waltz, shuffle/promenade, and line dance techniques.”
