I'm cautiously optimistic that things will start to pick up this autumn, though I'm not sure about winter.  This will be a fairly quiet month (like so many recently…) with an online lecture and a research trip.  

And if your dance group us back to actual in-person dancing, I'm willing to travel for small, vaccinated-only events and classes and, of course, to do Zoom lessons and talks for those who are not yet back to in-person events.

Please note: the events listed below are hosted in different cities/countries in different time zones.  Please adjust for your own time zone before planning online attendance!

Tuesday, September 14th ~ ONLINE / Massachusetts-based
Lecture on masquerades and fancy dress balls
for LIRA (Learning in Retirement Association – University of Massachusetts, Lowell)
10:00am-12:00pm (Massachusetts time). Zoom lecture. This will be similar to the lectures I've done this year on Regency-era masquerades, but expanded to cover the later nineteenth century and into the twentieth.

Saturday, September 18th ~ ONLINE / Connecticut-based
Cotillion Working Group Reunion Class
3:00pm-4:30pm.  Private event.

Sunday, September 19th ~ ONLINE / Connecticut-based
Dance Historian Meetup
11:00am-2:00pm.  Private event.

I am available for private or group online lessons and talks via Skype or Zoom (or your videoconferencing software of choice) during the pandemic; please email me directly if you would like to schedule a private lesson or talk.  I am also available for small-group in-person dance events; fully vaccinated dancers only, please!

Coming in October: likely more of the same, but it's very hard to plan, nowadays…
