The big trip this month is right at the end: the annual Dance Studies Association conference in Washington, D. C.  This will be the first time I have attended in many years, and I have a paper to present!  Other than that, I'll be sticking fairly close to home, or at least to the tri-state area, this month as things start to calm down for the summer.

Indeterminate States: Bodies, Fields, Praxis

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 Zoom or your videoconferencing software of choice.  Please email me directly if you would like to schedule an event, workshop, or talk!

Coming in July: some minor travel, a private performance, but mostly time at home to catch up on everything!
