VIDEO: Preview Midsummer Night Swing: Garba in the Park from Lincoln Center!

Lincoln Center has revealed its calendar of events for July, including the Mostly Mozart Festival lineup. Get a video preview of Garba in the Park below!

Even if you are new to these energetic group dances from Gujarat in western India, you'll quickly find your place on the dance floor during this spirited night of culture, community, and live music. Garba, with its repeating claps, twirls, and circular patterns, and raas, performed with sticks and rotating partners, are traditionally danced during the fall festival of Navratri and before weddings. Fun and social, they have been passionately embraced by young people across the Indian diaspora in recent years. Both are easy to learn, especially with our instructors and the Sa Dance Company on hand.

The event takes place at Damrosch Park, 62nd Street, between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues.

Tickets for individual events and passes can be purchased in advance at the David Geffen Hall Box Office or beginning at 5:30 pm on the night of the event at a box office in Damrosch Park. Tickets and passes can also be purchased through CenterCharge, 212.721.6500, or at MidsummerNightSwing.org.
