About dance competitions in Westminster

Westminster sits in the Denver-Boulder corridor, roughly 20 minutes from downtown Denver and from Boulder, which makes it a practical dance-competition base with big-metro lodging and dining close at hand. Events here often run out of The Westin Westminster on the Westminster Promenade, an outdoor village with restaurants, a theater, and an ice arena steps from the host hotel, so families can stay put and still have plenty within walking distance.

Between sessions the region delivers: a beloved indoor butterfly zoo right in Westminster, a big reservoir park, plus Denver's museums and zoo and Boulder's Pearl Street a short drive away. The season runs February through April with an October date, so expect cold, sometimes snowy winter and spring weekends at altitude; a warm layer and an indoor backup go a long way.

Competitions are commonly held at The Westin Westminster on the Westminster Promenade; fly into Denver International Airport (DEN), about 35 miles east, and plan on a car since the metro is spread out.
