Things to Do in Dubuque

For the last eight years, the highly trained, experienced instructors Deborah and Eric Gillitzer have helped students of all skill levels turn woeful wiggles into sophisticated shimmies just in time for weddings, dance competitions, and Friday nights with the house to yourself. Offering classes for adults in a wide variety of popular styles, Dance on Air will help you realize schedule sports month-long group classes in nightclub dance, beginning cha cha, and more. Each four-week class meets once a week for 45–55 minutes, generally in the early evening or around lunchtime, adding savory spice to any unseasoned day planner.

With cruises and rentals from Dubuque’s American Lady Yacht Cruises, you can set sail along the Mississippi River either as a relaxed passenger or an adventuresome captain. Aboard the $1 million American Lady yacht, passengers roam the vessel's two stories, slipping into the climate-controlled interior salons or enjoying the river breeze on the open bow and upper deck. The yacht has hosted weddings and corporate events, and it regularly departs on happy hour and sunset dinner cruises that treat passengers to fresh air, panoramic views, drinks, and refreshments from the ship’s caterer, Catfish Charlie’s River Club.

Sylvan 21- and 24-foot pontoon boats are also in the company's fleet. Rental options include half-day, full-day, and overnight charters, allowing for short, breezy jaunts down the river or full-scale reenactments of Huckleberry Finn.
