LINDY HOP AND MORE: Joshua McLean has Rachel Pitner in the air at “SW!NG OUT” at McCarter Theatre Center on Friday, October 25 at 7:30 p.m.

On Friday, October 25 at 7:30 p.m., McCarter Theatre Center presents SW!NG OUT, a swing dance  performance choreographed and directed by Caleb Teicher. The show, which concludes with an on-stage jam session, is accompanied by live music from Eyal Vilner’s 10-piece Big Band.

“SW!NG OUT has been a dream project for me, bringing together 12 all-star swing dancers and  a live 10-piece big band to celebrate Lindy Hop in a way that resonates with audiences  everywhere,” said Teicher. “It’s thrilling to see the impact this show has had on so many, inspiring them to dance and engage with the swing dance community. We aim to share the joy and energy of Lindy Hop with a broader audience. Each night, the performance concludes with an on-stage jam session, welcoming attendees to join in and celebrate the dance with us.”

The show serves as a testament to the  power of collaboration in dance.

“Collaboration is at the heart of what we do in SW!NG OUT.  It’s about creating an environment where each dancer can showcase their unique style while contributing to a collective experience that is both exhilarating and inclusive,” said Teicher.

Teicher is an NYC-based dancer and choreographer specializing in musically driven dance  traditions and interdisciplinary collaboration. Teicher began their career as a founding member  of Michelle Dorrance’s critically acclaimed tap dance company, Dorrance Dance, while also  freelancing in contemporary dance (The Chase Brock Experience, The Bang Group), Lindy Hop  (Syncopated City Dance Company), and musical theater (West Side Story International Tour and  London).
