Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will kick off the Midsummer Night Swing festival Tuesday night, the start of three weeks of dance and music in Damrosch Park. Dancers of every level are encouraged to participate; from 6:30 to 7:30 you can learn how to dance in whatever style is the theme of the night, and then at 7:30 the dancing and live music begins. There are often two set of dancing, and you can particpate as much or as little as you want. Individual tickets cost $17, but there are discounts for multi-ticket passes including the $170 full-season pass. The full schedule is here.
Check out a full gallery from last year’s swinging here.
