May 14 - 17, 2026
Welcome to Gateway Swing Classic.
Join us in St Louis, MO, for a one-of-a-kind dance experience at Gateway Swing Classic.
Formerly known as ShowMe Showdown, we're bringing you a completely revamped and reorganized event. At Gateway Swing Classic, we want to capture the class and history of Swing, the culture of St Louis, and the magic of dancing together as a community.
Get dressed up for our variety show, showcasing professionals from many styles of dance. Take workshops with some of the best teachers in the world, and cut loose for our Steal Team Challenge, Minigolf Tournament, and famous Sunday social dance, "Late Night Early."
New venue, new additions to our team of teachers, and new memories to be made. We'll see you in 2026.
