Back in the ballroom at last! This month I will return to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, for a Remembrance Day Ball (though in a different location and with a different organizer than in previous years) as well as doing a presentation for an online conference in the UK. I'll squeeze in a research jaunt around the Gettysburg trip and expect to spend time early in the month sewing a new costume for it since my ballgown is (sigh) still in Moscow. I'm so excited to get back on the dance floor in costume for the first time since early March, 2020!
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!

Dance Historian Meetup

Remembrance Day Ball hosted by Civil War Lady / Joy Melcher
In person! American Civil War-era dinner and ball. I will be calling the dancing to live music by the Susquehanna Travellers. This is not my usual Remembrance Day Ball, which is still on pandemic hiatus; this is a different organizer and location. Tickets $40; Covid vaccination strongly recommended. See the website for registration and hotel information.
Saturday-Sunday, November 27-28th ~ ONLINE / UK-based
An Assembly for Jane Austen
An online conference run by the UK's Historical Dance Society (Facebook page) with historians, dance researchers, and practitioners giving Austen-themed presentations. There will also be an evening soiree with a nautical theme with live music by Green Ginger's Meryl and Ian Thomson and prompting by Lizzy Curzon. I will be speaking at 4:20pm (UK time!) Saturday on the history of the Boulanger, the only dance mentioned by name in Jane Austen's works and letters. Tickets £20; register here.
