The boyfriend and I tried out Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing last night. Tickets were $15 a piece. There is a dance lesson from 6:30 - 7:30, which was indispensably helpful and debilitating. It had to have been 95 degrees during the lesson, and dance, which made the event a little too Survivor. The live band and vocalists came on around 8:00 - They were wonderful, and classic. All the big band songs you'd know from the 30's, 40's and 50's - Bobby Darin, Frank, Judy...You're probably just as happy standing 15 feet outside the dance floor, dancing for free on the rest of the plaza.
Overall, great experience.
Tips: Don't bring a bag.
