What makes a great tea dance? The Dads of Love ask — and DJ Brady Prince answers with a virtuoso six-hour rooftop set.
About this Event

For our August 17th Rooftop Sunday Tea Dance, The Dads of Love invite DJ Brady Prince to return not just as a headliner — but as a storyteller. In S1E3 of our summer series, Brady takes the rooftop helm from 2 to 8 PM, crafting a six-hour set that’s more than music — it’s his personal interpretation of the tea dance form.

We’re building something lasting. A new tradition. A platform for DJs to go deep, tell stories, and elevate the afternoon dance into something sublime.

This is Season 1, episode 3 "Prince’s Tale" — a Dads of Love Rooftop Sunday Tea Dance!


The Dads are back! Join us for an afternoon/evening of house, disco and techno beats under the open sky.

S1E3 Dads of Love Rooftop Summer Tea Dance returns to one of Chicago’s hidden gems, Roots Rooftop — a glass-retractable-rooftop venue that lets the sunshine pour in.

Upstairs, you'll find a full bar with festive specialty cocktails and joyful beats from DJ Brady Prince. Downstairs, the party gets fueled with hand-tossed pizzas, famous mozzarella sticks and more favorite Roots snacks.

It’s the perfect afterglow gathering the weekend after Market Days: open air, open hearts, open dance floor.
