I'm going to start off May with a long trip to England to teach and call at a folk festival and then do some research in London, where the British Library is finally semi-functional again after last autumn's cyberattack. I have a lengthy "shopping list" of sources to look at and a list of museum exhibitions to visit while they are paging them!
After that, and April's travel insanity, I'm going to spend the rest of the month at home recovering and hopefully catching up on processing and cataloguing my research photos all the way back to February...

Friday-Monday, May 3rd-6th ~ Evesham, UK
May Heydays
Major folk festival with a wide variety of dance and music. I will be doing six workshops Saturday-Monday, a talk Saturday evening, and a Regency ball Sunday night. Advance registration is closed but you can join at the door!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am available to travel for in-person dance teaching, lecturing, and ball precepting. 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 June: back in Boston to DJ for Bluesy Tuesy and do a bit of research, and a private online lecture!
I play fiddle and have added tunes from France to my lists. The Hartford Alliance Francaise is looking to team up with the CT Museum of Culture and History to put on a French dance-bourrees, Sauts, and the many types found in France. For example waltzes of 5-temps, 8-temps, 11-temps, Corsican waltz, and on it goes. Let me know if this interests you.
