Last October’s East Coast premiere of Caleb Teicher’s contemporary Lindy Hop extravaganza Sw!ng Out blew the roof of the Joyce Theater, Chelsea’s renowned dance oasis, to smithereens. Now, with the company preparing for a spring tour and drumming up funds, you can stream a previously filmed performance of the show. The first hour showcases an all-star ensemble of 12 in ever-shifting, never-predictable dance constellations of sheer bliss. After intermission, the audience is invited onstage to join in. Watching from the sidelines, you’ll notice a dip in the choreographic invention, but the joy of participation offers compensation. Music by the Eyal Vilner Big Band is the cherry on the cake. —Matthew Gurewitsch
