This is a list of upcoming events at which I will be teaching, calling, or DJing. Links and details are updated as they get closer, and I regularly add new events and classes. The current month's gigs can always be found at the top of the blog.
Events and classes marked private are just that. They are included to head off inquiries about availability on those dates. Please contact me directly if you are interested in private lessons or classes in waltz or historical social dance.
I will be based in the Moscow, Russia, through the end of May, 2019, and then back in the USA during the summer.
For Russian-language information and questions about my classes in Russia, please see my VK community.

Vintage Dance Exchange 2019
A weekend of classes, balls, and parties with multiple teachers and both historical and folk dance!
Friday & Saturday, November 22nd & 23rd ~ Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
The 17th Annual Remembrance Day Dinner & Ball (Facebook community)
5:30pm-midnight each day. TWO nights! TWO formal dinners! TWO balls! Both evenings are 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's ball is Fancy Dress/Masquerade with a Scottish/Tartan theme, complete with a piper to lead the Grand March. Saturday will feature a Patriotic theme. I will be calling both evenings this year, with live music both nights by the Fleeting Moments Waltz & Quickstep Orchestra and different beginner-friendly dance programs!
