Things are getting lively again! Online and in-person workshops, two balls, and a DJ gig, plus at least two library visits, and I'm hoping for four...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saturday, November 12th ~ ONLINE / Connecticut-based
Cotillion Working Group Reunion Class
12:00-1:30pm. Private event.
Friday & Saturday, November 18th & 19th ~ Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
The 18th Annual Remembrance Day Dinner & Ball (Facebook community)
5:30pm-midnight each day. TWO nights! TWO formal dinners! TWO balls! This is the return of John Newbold's event! Both evenings will be formal Civil War-era events with pre-1865 costume (civilian or military) required. Advance reservations (dinner and ball or ball-only) are needed, and this event generally sells out well in advance! Friday night: 1860s fancy dress ball. Saturday night: classic formal Civil War ball. I will be calling with live music both evenings by the Fleeting Moments Orchestra and different beginner-friendly dance programs!
Sunday, November 20th ~ Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Private dance workshop at Historic Rock Ford
1:00-4:00pm. Workshop on early nineteenth century American dances. Private event for Rock Ford dancers only.
Sunday, November 27th ~ Concord, Massachusetts (Boston area)
Mostly Waltz Boston (Facebook event)
2:00-5:30pm. I will be teaching a lesson in basic cross-step waltz from 2:00-3:00 followed by dancing (waltz and other couple dances) to live music by Becky Tracy and Keith Murphy from 3:00-5:30pm. FAC members $13, non-members $15, students/need a break $7. Attendance is limited and attendees must pre-register via the website.
Tuesday, November 29th ~ Cambridge, Massachusetts (Boston area)
Bluesy Tuesy (Facebook page) (Facebook group) (Facebook event)

I am available to travel for in-person dance teaching, lecturing, and ball precepting, pandemic permitting. I am also still available for private or group online lessons and talks via Skype or Zoom (or your videoconferencing software of choice). Please email me directly if you would like to schedule an event or workshop!

Coming in December: back to Boston again to DJ for Second Sun Rising and call a waltz mixer at Boston Gender Free Contra Dance. Then home for the holidays!
