Saturday, May 28, is Denver’s third annual Denver Day of Rock presented by Concerts for Kids, a nonprofit organization that puts on musical events and distributes the proceeds to children’s charities in the Denver area. Great concept, huh? We thought so too. That’s why Southwest Airlines is proud to be a stage sponsor of this great event that will bring more than 20 bands to five stages along 16th Street for a free day of rock in downtown Denver!

We want to bring YOU in for the fun! So in the spirit of rockin’ out, go to www.denverdayofrock.com and check out the DANCE, DANCE, DANCE video. The video features a how-to of the Cupid Shuffle for the larger-than-life flash mob that’s happening at May 28, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. Upload a video of yourself breakin’ it down and Cupid Shuffling your heart out. If your dance moves and rock attire are awesome enough, you can win two VIP passes to Denver Day of Rock, a two-night stay at the 2 nights at The Oxford Hotel, and of course, we’ll fly you to Denver for free!

The fabulous Oxford Hotel is also throwing in complimentary valet parking, a choice of a 50 minute massage or 50 minute facial at The Oxford Club Spa & Salon for each guest, and two signature martinis at the iconic Cruise Room at The Oxford Hotel.

To enter, upload your video to YouTube and share the link on Twitter using the #DenverDayofRock hashtag.  Southwest Airlines will have a panel of highly-qualified judges who watch EVERY season of Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. They know they’re stuff.  So warm up those feet and charge up the camera and show us what ya got!
