Actually, St. Louis is REALLY hopping for the entire weekend of Nov 21st-23rd!
The 4th Annual Gateway Country Classic is held on the far (west) side of
St. Louis at the Henry VIII Hotel! The whole thing kicks off Friday
night with the Gateway Swing Challenge, which is followed up on Saturday
with tons of workshops, competitions and a Dinner Show on Saturday
night, with additional dancing in two separate ballrooms and more events
and workshops on Sunday.
This event is hosted by Robert Cordoba and Debbie Durrand, and features
Barry Jones, Beata Howe, Tim Auclair, Michell Wells, Barry Durrand, Lisa
Austin, Debbie Bernard, Bob Bahrs, Sherry Lawson and Grant Austin!
(check out the DI Video library for tapes from many of these big names)

Having attended BOTH events last year, I can assure you that if you crave
swing dancing, St. Louis will be the place to be in November!
