“SW!NG OUT IS DISTINCT, EVEN GROUNDBREAKING.”
— Brian Seibert, The New York Times
Acclaimed choreographer Caleb Teicher brings the best of the swing dance world in this Joyce Theater Production, with live music by the Eyal Vilner Big Band. Conceived by Caleb Teicher alongside their brain trust of collaborators Evita Arce, LaTasha Barnes, Nathan Bugh, Macy Sullivan, and Eyal Vilner, SW!NG OUT features exciting Lindy Hop choreography and improvisation. Each performance concludes with an on-stage jam session, inviting audiences to join in the fun!
“Sometimes, you can see it in their eyes: A split-second hesitation converts to an effortless spin that twirls along perfectly to the music. These bursts are captivating, even oddly adventurous, and for the audience, a chance to grasp something of the performers’ sensorial secret language.”
— Gia Kourlas, NYTimes
“SW!NG OUT … gave me the most joy of any dance production in 2021.”
— Brian Seibert, NYTimes
“If Teicher’s intention was to bring people to this style of dance, then SW!NG OUT is a success. Swing, and its origins as Lindy Hop, come across as the most welcoming, fun, and musically satisfying of dances.”
— Marina Harss, DanceTabs
