To arrange your own accomodations in Cape May, see "Lodgings" below or visit the Cape May Chamber website at http://www.capemaychamber.com/pages/CapeMayChamberMembershi.htm
from all over the country teach 18 Swing Dance Workshops in 2 Halls over Saturday and Sunday. Styles include:
LINDY, WEST COAST SWING, JITTERBUG, RETRO SWING, TANGO & LATIN, FUNDAMENTALS, STYLING, etc.
Each dancer is responsible for arranging their own lodgings for Friday, Saturday or whatever. Many establishments in Cape May require a 3-night minimum and/or fill up quickly. See the Cape May Chamber website under "Membership" above for telephone numbers, lodging websites, and room availability, etc.
Another strategy is to stay OUTSIDE Cape May in the nearby towns where lodging is not booked up, so expensive, or requiring a 3-night minimum. BEST BET is to use your AAA book - that's how I got the list below. The Towns listed first are closest to Cape May. Most of these accomodations do not require a 3-day minimum stay at this time of year. Listing does not imply endorsement. Good Luck !
