Where can we go jazz/swing dancing in New York City?
We're looking for a nice place to go dancing in Manhattan / Brooklyn over the next weekend. (The kind of place with a live band and you're expected to dress up a bit.) Bonus points if we wouldn't be the youngest people there at 30.
We're not the best dancers, but we basically want to be able to go, have a few drinks, dance a few songs, and have a good time. Any ideas?
(Next weekend is ideal, but if there are special evens other weekends this summer, we'd love to hear about that too)

It's not entirely clear to me whether both Baby Soda *and* Gelber and Manning are playing next Saturday, but either one is good. Both would be even better.
(Regarding your age, in the swing-dancing circles I run in, being 30 puts you among the oldest.)
