Queen City Line Dance Classic
The Queen City Line Dance Classic (QCLDC) is a premier instructional dance workshop/convention that will be held annually in Charlotte, North Carolina — featuring internationally recognized, award-winning choreographers, professional instructors, and globally celebrated DJs from across North America and overseas for three extraordinary days of line dance workshops.
WHAT IS IN A NAME?
Charlotte is called the “Queen City” because it was named in honor of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the wife of King George III of Great Britain.
When the city was founded in 1768, it was named Charlotte to honor the queen, and the surrounding county was named Mecklenburg County, referencing her German birthplace (the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz).
So the nickname “Queen City” is a direct tribute to Queen Charlotte herself.
