Mission The Heartland Swing Festival preserves vintage Swing dance by providing a venue for dancers to share their passion for the Swing culture through classes, dances and competitions, thus inspiring a new generation of Swing dancers in the Iowa community. Vision To be the definitive destination in Iowa where swing dancers can learn, grow, and share their passion for the swing culture that spawns a ripple effect of swing dance education and preservation. Heartland Swing Festival Des Moines, IA In April of 2006, Michael Brafford and Matthew Fuld brought to the Iowa community for the first time a Swing dance event that provided classes with world-renowned dance instructors and dances with premiere Swing bands. Since the inaugural year, the event has educated and inspired Midwest dancers of all ages and experience levels. It has become one of the largest and most well-attended Swing events in the region and has proved to be the best opportunity to expose Iowans to the Swing culture. Des Moines welcomes this event in 2012 and is excited to share their love of lindy hop with the national swing dance community. The Collegiate Jitterbug Championships and HSF provides a venue for Swing dancers to make new friends and visit with old ones; it gives dancers an outlet to learn and grow; and it gives amateur competitors the opportunity to compete on a national stage. Through classes, dances, and competitions we hope to continue to promote the swing dance scene in Iowa and throughout the Midwest. Please join us in March and experience the joy of swing dancing in central Iowa. FUTURE DATES:
