From now on, on the first Saturday of every odd-numbered month (such as November, January, March, etc.), we can enjoy lindy hop with jazz live performances on the streets of Ikebukuro! Moreover, high-level professional swing jazz musicians will perform there. Since it’s held outdoors, it’s free. How about that?!
