It takes roughly 30 minutes to get to the Gaylord resort from most places it is conveniently located close to most freeways.
Discounted parking for attendees and guests.
Self-parking will be a button that you select at the event as you enter the lot.
0 - 4 Hours: $6, 4 - 8 Hours: $14, 8+ Hours: $20 per vehicle
normal prices are 0 - 4 Hours: $13, 4 - 8 Hours: $23, 8+ Hours: $33 per vehicle make sure you select our event button as you enter lot. I will have a picture when I get to event.
The A Line will get you from the DIA airport to 61st and Pena Station (around 1 mile from the Gaylord Hotel) in approximately 15 minutes. There is a free shuttle service through Town Park Gaylord that first picks up from the train station at 5:00 am and picks up every :00 and :30 of the hour. This is by far the most affordable and efficient way to get to the Gaylord from the airport for only $10. The last train to leave DIA departs at 1:26 am. Trains departing Union Station start as early as 3:15 am and are only $2.75 from anywhere but the airport.
Choose your own partner. Prelims are on Saturday after classes. Finals are Saturday night during the main dance. Air steps and lifts are allowed.
No partner needed to enter. Leads and follows will rotate and be judged individually for prelims and as a partnership for finals. Prelims are Saturday after classes. Finals are SUNDAY during the evening dance.
Any swing goes! Free to enter! Grab a partner and dance to increasing tempos until the last ones stand! Judging will be tap-out style. This contest runs during the Saturday late night dance. Prizes? Bragging rights and free passes to Hot Jazz Jamboree 2026!
