Texas Federation of Women's Clubs - aka the Fed The Austin Swing Syndicate has called this place home every Thursday since 1999. It's big, it's beautiful and it has a fantastic floor. The main evening dances and late nights will both happen here, so the party never stops. The Texas Women's Federation Mansion is a Texas Historic Landmark, an Austin Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic places. It was designed by noted Dallas architect Henry Coke Knight to be the state headquarters for the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs, and is considered to be one of the best examples of Georgian Revival architecture in Texas.
Zilker Park Clubhouse The clubhouse has been used as a venue for several Austin Lindy Exchanges and this picturesque outdoor venue is a dancer favorite. From the hilltop, you can see Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake and downtown Austin so it's a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon of dancing and grilling burgers! Be sure to bring a camera and some "all terrain" dance shoes, because you'll be dancing on concrete.
