Perhaps this should be more accurately called the non-gig calendar. Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, I am home from Moscow and back in Connecticut and, needless to say, all upcoming events and lessons are canceled. Like everyone else, I've no idea when things will return to normal.
I am considering doing online lectures or short dance lessons once I figure out the technical issues. Ideas for this, or specific requests, are welcome - leave them as a comment here. If I plan anything like this in April, I'll update this post. Edited to add: and I am teaching at an online dance festival! See below!
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Historical Dance Festival Online

An online festival! A dozen or so Russian teachers and I, thirteen hours of classes and lectures over two days. The times are 11:00-18:00 Moscow time, or 4:00-11:00am Eastern (NYC) time, daily. Adjust for your time zone! My particular items:
(1) Saturday, 17:00-18:00 (Moscow time), "The Hunting of the Panurge", a lecture on looking for the history of "La Nouvelle Panurge", published by Collinet c1823. (Facebook link with a bit more detail.)
(2) Sunday, 14:00-15:00 (Moscow time), "Five-Step Schottische", a workshop on the connections between waltz and schottische in the late nineteenth century. (Facebook link with a bit more detail.)
(3) Sunday, 15:00-16:00 (Moscow time), "Schottische in the Ragtime Era", a lecture on the schottische variants that originated in the late nineteenth century and persisted into the early twentieth. (Facebook link with a bit more detail.)
The festival costs a nominal five euros or 500 rubles for the weekend; register and pay in advance to receive the Zoom conference link.
