Is it okay to show up without a dance partner? Yes, definitely! Lots of dancers arrive solo for the lessons and dancing-and there are always enough partners to go around. Where is Swing? All performances and events take place on the Josie Robertson Plaza. Columbus Avenue at 63rd Street. Subway: 1/9 to 66th Street stop. Bus: M5, M7, M11, M66, and M104 to Lincoln Center. Rain Policy: If it rains before 8:30, we'll wait to see if it stops; if it does, we'll go on with the lesson or the show. If it is irrevocably raining at 8:30, we will cancel the show and you may turn in your bracelet for a future evening of dancing, or mail it in for a refund (see below). We make refunds and exchanges only in the event of rain; we make no refunds for unused dates on Swing Passes. If the rain starts at any time after the first set is over, we will be unable to make refunds or exchanges. We must receive requests for refunds by September 1, 2005.
