SW!NG OUT A JOYCE THEATER

PRODUCTION

JUN 20-JUL 2

After a triumphant national tour, SW!NG OUT returns to the place where it all started with an encore run at The Joyce. Interdisciplinary artist Caleb Teicher and their brain trust of collaborators, Evita Arce, LaTasha Barnes, and Nathan Bugh, bring a wildly talented cast of dancers and musicians back home for the first return engagement of this Joyce Theater Production. A New York Times’ Critic’s Pick, SW!NG OUT celebrates the unbridled joy of Lindy Hop and the excitement of the artists’ distinct improvisational styles—generating a different show each night. Music by the Eyal Vilner Big Band complements the social dance experience with irresistible rhythms that will make you want to dance along. Welcoming audiences into the fold, each performance concludes with an on-stage jam session with the company!
