"A Midsummer Night Swing" is a melting pot. Virtually all human types make an appearance; the place is an anthropologist's delight. Who is here? Everyone. I saw figures right out of Koren's New Yorker cartoons -- Upper West Siders of a certain age -- as well as glamorous East Side sophisticates; downtown kids with tattoos and body-piercings; Orthodox Jews (men with yarmulkes, their wives with wigs); at least one emeritus Columbia University professor in a wrinkled seersucker suit, reading glasses dangling from a chain around his neck; same-sex couples; biracial couples; suburbanites; European tourists; old men dancing with girls young enough to be their granddaughters. Those who look the least prepossessing often turn out to have the best rhythm."
