There are eight performance rooms at Shinjuku Bunka Center in this event.
From my point of view, swing dancers should not miss "Tenji Shitsu" room where 
lots of swingin' dance-able dancer-friendly bands will appear.  While at
"Swing Hall", most bands there are clarinet based small bands.  They are good 
for listening, but not so good for dancers generally.
