Duke employee discount: 2/11 swing dance + lesson

Update: If you missed the dance, stay tuned for our next one on Nov. 10, 2012.

Duke employees, if you love to dance or would like to learn how, we've got a deal for you. If you buy your tickets to our Feb. 11 Swing at the Gardens dance today or Tuesday, you can benefit from our advance ticket member rate (and student rate) of $8. The price for the general public is $10. And tickets at the door, if any are remaining, will be $12, or $5 student rush.

The dance will be from 8-11 p.m. in the beautiful Doris Duke Center. And for those who've never danced swing before (it's one of the easiest dances in terms of the basic steps), there will be a beginner lesson from 7 to 8 p.m. that's free with admission. Even if you only want to try the lesson and dance for a little bit afterward, before doing something different with your Saturday evening, that's still a great deal.

Call 668-1707 to buy tickets by phone (9 a.m.-1 p.m.), or buy them in person at the Doris Duke Center information desk. Please bring your Duke i.d.

Parking is free after 5 p.m. Please see our dance web page for more information.
