Emerging from my summer hibernation — how did I get my hibernation season so out of whack? — I'll be on the road this month for blues in Boston (sadly, this trip has been canceled) and a somewhat random bunch of workshops in San Jose, California, where a non-dance-related trip has turned into something of a busman's holiday!  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Thursday-Saturday, August 16-18 ~ San Jose, California
Dance workshops at the 76th Annual World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon76) (Facebook)
I will be conducting workshops on Victorian couple dancing (with a Steampunk focus), historical dances done in trios, and cross-step waltz (beginner level); leading a morning "dancercize" session; DJing a waltz session; and doing a mini-class on hand jive.  I'll also be partnering for a basic swing dance workshop.  My full schedule is here.  Note: these workshops are restricted to day or weekend members of the convention.  Please see the Worldcon76 website for information about membership.
