Here, finally is the confirmed schedule of this year's Midsummer Night's Swing at Lincoln Center.
For those that don't know, Midsummer Night's Swing is a long-running
series of dance concerts thrown by Lincoln Center every summer in their
courtyard area. On the sad this, this year the schedule looks super-short, from July 7
to July 25 only! (Darn you, recession!) On the plus side, it's always a great time and a real New York bargain!
