Oddly enough there is another way to go. Cheap and a different city. The Lindy Hop community set up a web site to have exchanges back before 2000.

It caught on and has been going ever since.

Every weekend of every month there is a city throwing an exchange. You can go and stay on the cheap as people volunteer to host, and there is always incredible dancing at exchanges.

It's closer to vacation/meetup. Of course ... Swing dancing is inherently a party.
