It's time for Intercollegiate Swing Battle 2026! Join us at the Denver Turnverein tonight for our welcome dance, and sign up for the many wonderful classes Heather Ballew and Cyle Dixon will be teaching this weekend:

Tune Up
So you've learned the basics of Lindy Hop but want a way to level up? In this class, we'll talk about the tips and tricks that make your basics look and feel amazing.

Go With the Flow
Lindy Hop feels best when it moves around the floor. We'll take a deep dive into momentum and use that flow to play with new moves and movement.

A Hey Ho, A Here We Go!
Building on basic rhythms and putting it all together.

Frankie's Moves
Classic moves inspired by the one and only Frankie Manning.

Knock Knock—Who's There?
Dancing with a partner is all about communication and taking turns. This class will explore the tools you need to become a stronger communicator.

Fun and Flash
Who doesn't like fun, flashy moves? We know we do. Come learn some of our favorite things to do on the social floor.

What is Balboa? As Lindy Hop and swing dance moved west, Californians developed their own style with a regional flair: close connection, shuffling feet and quick tempos. Learn some basics at our Flatiron Stomp Balboa Takeover! (4/4), which will feature a drop-in lesson, special guests, and social dancing. (There will be plenty of Lindy Hop too. 🙂)
